Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Commanders did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 38 with a little surplus value in Nic Scourton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dylan Sampson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 98th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
