Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesC FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

Nobody had Jack Kelly this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 39 spots to get him at pick No. 223.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Landing Hurst that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 7 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley is a better player than the 94th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They took Beau Stephens at par in Round 5, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in pick No. 198 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kelly well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
