Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Jackson tumbling to the Commanders in Round 4, Pick 26 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Ezeiruaku has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 61 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at pick 128 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 205th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Nesbit this early at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
