Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 29: the Commanders steal Higgins and grade out a A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Ikem Ekwonu gives the group a proven body among the projects. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick100 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in Round 4, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
They will replay Nohl Williams at the 147th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
They robbed the room for Riley Leonard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 205 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock is a better player than slot 227 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at pick 245. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board fumbled Phil Mafah all the way to the 248th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
