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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Commanders reached some 43 spots for Barryn Sorrell, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 29th pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 61 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
