Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders let Love fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Love.

Every board in the league had Brown lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 26th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They did well to land Malachi Fields in No. 95, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick 122 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Nothing to complain about; Taylen Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
They paid a round early for Raylen Wilson in pick No. 196, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 222nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
