Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Commanders get a C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with David Bailey at the 24th overall pick, a reach of 52 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Clark at that price is a win they earned. Tight end is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on David Bailey and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 24 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bud Clark
They barely believed it either: Bud Clark still on the board at pick No. 88. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jamal Haynes
They took Jamal Haynes at par in slot 163, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Value said wait; Riley Williams in the 237th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
