Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
Larceny in slot 235 lands the Commanders a B+, Bassa and all.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 122 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 235 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Every board in the league had Colby lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Value said wait; Jared Ivey in pick No. 59 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Connor Colby this early at No. 146. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 246th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
