Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureB-
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the C+. The war room fell hard for David Bailey, and it showed at pick No. 79: 59 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sampson. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
So much rides on Luther Burden III that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In pick No. 29 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 61st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79
Rnd3
David Bailey
A wild overpay on David Bailey in Round 3, Pick 15, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
Nice patience on Jason Marshall Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 146. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in No. 203 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
They went early on Tonka Hemingway in the 215th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the 236th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at slot 247 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
