Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Monangai should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Kyle Monangai sat on the board until the 245th pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A slide stopped in the 61st overall pick, with Donovan Ezeiruaku worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cobee Bryant in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at the 205th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in pick 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
