Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Kyle Williams at the 128th overall pick is 68 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Hunter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 30th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 29 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Williams in slot 128, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Cody Simon. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick205 Rnd6 CJ West
The board had cheaper options than CJ West at No. 205, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
The board had Jarquez Hunter higher than pick No. 236, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
