Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaydon Blue; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 73 spots ahead at No. 238. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Higgins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
They paid up for Cameron Williams at the 30th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in Round 2, Pick 29, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They paid a round early for Denzel Burke in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at pick 199 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A tidy little value on Ricky White III in slot 207, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at pick No. 210. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in the 238th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A reach on Kaden Prather in Round 7, Pick 32; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
