Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B.

Some picks age like wine; Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 245 will need to, sitting 46 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at No. 61 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oluwafemi Oladejo. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 119 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, RJ Harvey well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
