Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Brooks, the No. 192 name on the board, stolen at the 245th overall pick.

The Prather reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 45 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in the 61st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
The board fumbled Cameron Williams all the way to the 95th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at pick No. 128. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 131 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Circle this one: Riley Leonard at Round 5, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 196 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 226 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board had Cam Jackson higher than Round 7, Pick 32, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at the 251st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaden Prather this early at pick No. 254. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at slot 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
