Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Commanders: C+.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Justin Whiteside, 127 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 29 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jackson Slater
Value said wait; Jackson Slater in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at No. 128. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 205th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Justin Whiteside
Justin Whiteside at Round 7, Pick 29 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
