Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Commanders walked right past.

The cost of the Tate reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That Mathews Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 8th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at No. 148 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. is a better player than pick 185 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in Round 6, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell at pick No. 222 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
