Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Deion Burks, 37 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Getting Hill Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In pick No. 30 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 55 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 62nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Value said wait; Deion Burks in Round 3, Pick 7 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at No. 147 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reach for Matt Gulbin in the 170th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at No. 187 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They liked Zxavian Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in the 209th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeff Caldwell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
