Draft Grade — Commanders

Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Commanders: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Burch; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 61 spots ahead at the Round 1 slot.

On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jordan Burch
In the 29th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 61 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at No. 128. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They will replay Dorian Strong at pick 205 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
