Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
The Commanders let Leonard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Riley Leonard had no business being available in slot 201, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Baron lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 31 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in slot 101 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They talked themselves into Tyler Baron at pick 132, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 201st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 205th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
No edge and no loss on Roc Taylor in No. 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
