Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
McMillan should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The McMillan pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Jones Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at pick 64, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 94. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
The board had cheaper options than Nohl Williams at the 109th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reach for Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 26; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaydon Blue a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 241st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A tidy little value on Bilhal Kone in No. 245, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
