Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueA NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Fitzgerald: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 207.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. It is not that Mukuba is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 29 they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 61 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andrew Mukuba adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in pick 148, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the 165th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick181 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in the 181st overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Ryan Fitzgerald still on the board at slot 207. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at pick 250 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
