Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureB-
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-. The Gabe Jacas pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 30 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The final tally is a middling C-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Lee III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 7th pick they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick60
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Jacas well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Will Lee III
Will Lee III slid further than he should have, and the 71st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
A slide stopped in pick No. 126, with Trinidad Chambliss worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
They let Keylan Rutledge come to them and pounced at pick 129. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
They took Ted Hurst at par in No. 145, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick 163 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in the 185th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at the 196th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
A conviction pick on Dominic Zvada at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
They paid sticker price for Jordan Hall in No. 239, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A straight-up fair deal on Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
