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

The Ashton Gillotte selection is the head-turner. The Commanders reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That Wester pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 29th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at slot 61 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Nothing to complain about; Elijah Arroyo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 John Williams
A real head-scratcher, John Williams in pick 207 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid a round early for Jaylin Smith in the 238th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in pick No. 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
