Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Nelson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 29 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Jack Nelson, the No. 171 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If Robinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Good price on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at No. 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 205th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 245 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
