Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did enough to get by: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent pick No. 128 on Isaac TeSlaa, a name most had 105 spots down the list.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at pick 128. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 205 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at the 245th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
