Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 147th overall pick: the Commanders steal Castro and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sebastian Castro, the No. 90 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 147. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Majors proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 22 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 56th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 78th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Taking Sebastian Castro in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at slot 198 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
