Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureC+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot. The Commanders jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in No. 61 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
The board had Jack Sawyer higher than pick No. 67, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They will replay Elic Ayomanor at the 89th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 26. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A clean, defensible pick in pick 179 with a little surplus value in DJ Giddens. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at pick No. 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the 245th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
