Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
C+
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB+
The Commanders won the night they stopped Etienne from sliding. Grade: C+. Call it larceny. Trevor Etienne sat on the board until No. 223, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. A mixed bag that lands at C+.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in pick No. 61 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Value with a capital V on Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 21, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at No. 117. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to slot 122, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good price on Logan Brown in the 151st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is a better player than the 191st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at Round 6, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Quincy Riley
They will replay Quincy Riley at the 232nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
