Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Ransaw from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Caleb Ransaw sat on the board until pick 245, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 29 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 61st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 128 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 205 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 245th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
