Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 245 on Kyren Lacy a full 43 spots early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Landing Hampton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 29 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at slot 61 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Value with a capital V on Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 128, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 6, Pick 29 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the 245th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
