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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Isaac TeSlaa at pick 205 is 29 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Value with a capital V on Trey Amos in the 61st overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonas Sanker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They took Teddye Buchanan at par in pick No. 245, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
