Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Bradyn Swinson went at pick 29, a good 30 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Ransom makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 61 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 205, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They let Ja'Corey Brooks come to them and pounced at the 245th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
