Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Commanders never addressed tight end, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Benny pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wheatley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 7 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 24, where Zakee Wheatley graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds slipping to No. 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Logan Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Jones at the 146th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
They liked Rayshaun Benny enough to skip the value, taking him in the 188th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Evan Stewart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Makhi Hughes in the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
