Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD+
The Commanders won the night they stopped Mondon Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 39, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 40th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick 61, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 71 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at No. 79 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at wide receiver, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They read the board right and Darius Alexander was the payoff at the 148th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
A specialist of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 29 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 James Burnip
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, James Burnip in Round 7, Pick 20, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in the 250th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
