Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The Commanders let Schwesinger fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 83 name on the board, in No. 133. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Winston Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

The Ivey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 61st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach No. 105 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick 109 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety and leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 133 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at the 179th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board fumbled Hayden Conner all the way to slot 245, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
