Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B.

Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at pick No. 228 will need to, sitting 96 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in pick 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 89th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Value with a capital V on Charles Grant in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 131st pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick 133 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach slot 134 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy little value on Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 155, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in the 228th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They barely believed it either: Isaac TeSlaa still on the board at pick No. 250. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
