Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Tyler Baron at No. 128 is 34 spots clear of where he belonged. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Hampton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Jahdae Barron and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 29 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to pick 61, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to No. 102 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They reached into another round for Tyler Baron, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A conviction pick on Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 130 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Reed in slot 196. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
