Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Oladejo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Trey Hendrickson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in the 56th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in pick 61, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at the 62nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in No. 109, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach Round 4, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at pick No. 132. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A tidy little value on Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
By-the-book stuff, Ty Hamilton at No. 245 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
