Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Oluwafemi Oladejo, taking him 112 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Ezeiruaku a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 128, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 170, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
You do not let a cornerback like Nohl Williams reach pick 205 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Nice patience on Hayden Conner, who had no business lasting to slot 226. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
