Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jay Higgins got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 238.

If Crenshaw-Dickson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 29 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st pick with a little surplus value in TreVeyon Henderson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They paid up for Cam Jackson at pick No. 207 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in slot 238, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
