Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Winston Jr.. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kevin Winston Jr. slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick No. 128. Highway robbery.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than slot 61, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to pick 128, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 205th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in No. 245 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
