Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Akheem Mesidor went at pick No. 202, a good 60 picks before the board was ready.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cashius Howell
A straight-up fair deal on Cashius Howell at Round 3, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at No. 163 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Akheem Mesidor. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 James Williams
James Williams slipping to the 237th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
