Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 32 picks early on Bryce Foster, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Coleman Jr..

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 7 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday slid further than he should have, and the 71st overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Albert Regis
They liked Albert Regis enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 147. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 183 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Value with a capital V on Ted Hurst in Round 6, Pick 6, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Kitselman in No. 198, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
