Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

Some picks age like wine; Akheem Mesidor at pick 28 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lawson. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In No. 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They paid sticker price for Christen Miller in slot 38, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at the 80th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at the 145th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at Round 5, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 176th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 5, Pick 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Holly
Trey Holly at pick No. 244 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Preston Hodge
Preston Hodge at No. 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
