Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
The Commanders land in the muddy middle: C-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Christian Gray at No. 186 is 94 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.
Allen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Their trades came out a wash either way.
If Genesis Smith and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Genesis Smith
In the 7th pick they get a rangy last line of defense, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick71
Rnd3
CJ Allen
They will replay CJ Allen at Round 3, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in pick 146 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Christian Gray
They reached into another round for Christian Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205
Rnd6
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 205 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at slot 248 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
