Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 80 is 60 spots clear of where he belonged.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 61st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than pick 95, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A straight-up fair deal on Mello Dotson at the 128th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach No. 137 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bhayshul Tuten in No. 157. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 171st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at pick 175. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A big swing on Jalen McLeod at the 189th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Fair-plus on Oronde Gadsden II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A tidy little value on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in Round 6, Pick 29, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at pick No. 245, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
