Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

The war room fell hard for Jayden Higgins, and it showed at pick 29: 29 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took West. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
A straight-up fair deal on Bradyn Swinson at the 61st pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
By-the-book stuff, Jonas Sanker at the 128th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 205 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
