Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Commanders walked out of the weekend still thin at tight end, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gulbin. The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 7 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
No edge and no loss on Kamari Ramsey in the 71st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A straight-up fair deal on Demond Claiborne at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
A slide stopped in pick 187, with Matt Gulbin worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in Round 6, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 223 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
