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

Call it larceny. Kobe King sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 29 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 61st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kobe King
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kobe King in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No edge and no loss on Tonka Hemingway in No. 250; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
