Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Bellamy: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jayden Bellamy had no business being available in pick No. 224, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick No. 14 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 A.J. Holmes Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
Nothing to complain about; Suntarine Perkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
They will replay Jelani McDonald at No. 68 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 105 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 LJ Martin
LJ Martin slipping to Round 5, Pick 4 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jayce Brown
Jayce Brown in the 182nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
Circle this one: Jayden Bellamy at pick 224 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
