Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Bassa: B+.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 132 name on the board, in the 194th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery slid further than he should have, and the 61st overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at the 79th pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Nice patience on Darius Alexander, who had no business lasting to slot 148. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 6, Pick 3 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 194 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in No. 207, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A quiet steal in the 216th overall pick: Jordan Hancock for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick 238 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the 250th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
