Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Commanders, and a C- to match.

The Commanders bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 317 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Rucker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Phillip Webb and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Phillip Webb
In the 29th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Carson Vinson
A wild overpay on Carson Vinson in pick 128, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Marcus Yarns
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Yarns. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Taking Kaimon Rucker in pick No. 245 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
