Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: C.

The Commanders torched the value chart for Trey Zuhn III, taking him 32 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Hill Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
They went early on Akheem Mesidor in the 22nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach the 59th pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A tidy bit of business in pick 65, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Washington Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Hecht at No. 104. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
The board fumbled Ted Hurst all the way to Round 4, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Davison Igbinosun for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They paid a round early for Nate Boerkircher in pick 147, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They jumped the gun on Zane Durant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 183rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
They took Ephesians Prysock at par in pick No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at No. 217. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at Round 7, Pick 7 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
