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

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason Taylor had no business being available in the 239th overall pick, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 22 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Value said wait; Tez Johnson in the 78th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at Round 6, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the 239th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to slot 246, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
