Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent the Round 7 slot on Gino Garcia, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower.

However the rest shakes out, Marshall Jr. at that price is a win they earned. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 29th pick they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They paid a round early for Jared Ivey in slot 61, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 79 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jason Marshall Jr. still on the board at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at Round 7, Pick 20 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at No. 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
