Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent pick 185 on Patrick Payton, a name most had 43 spots down the list. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They banked enough surplus on McNeil-Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 7 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
You do not let a safety like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren reach the 60th pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A tidy bit of business in the 71st overall pick, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
The board had Jaeden Roberts higher than slot 126, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Louis at No. 145, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick 185 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Value with a capital V on Oscar Delp in slot 196, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nice patience on Jeff Caldwell, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
