Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and McDonald: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jelani McDonald tumbling to the Commanders in slot 143 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Moore lower, and that gap is the story.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 4th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Charlie Becker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
The board fumbled Jamari Johnson all the way to No. 68, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Lance Heard
A quiet steal in the 106th pick: Lance Heard for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jelani McDonald
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jelani McDonald in Round 5, Pick 4, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Wendell Gregory
Good price on Wendell Gregory in pick No. 183, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at pick 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
