Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at the 148th pick. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every board in the league had Hamilton lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 31 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 29 is lovely value for the tight end. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 95th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick 207 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hunter Wohler. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at the 250th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at No. 256 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
