Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Sanker fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonas Sanker, pick 245, roughly 109 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the McLeod reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 29 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 61st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
They reached into another round for Jalen McLeod, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They barely believed it either: RJ Harvey still on the board at slot 205. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jonas Sanker in Round 7, Pick 29, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
