Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Henderson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 60 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 146.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Dellinger left real value on the table behind him.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reach for Charles Grant in the 79th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 146th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 203 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They went early on Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 20, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
