Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Mondon Jr.: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in pick No. 207, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Crenshaw-Dickson left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 29 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 61 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 3, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 207 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 238th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
