Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Warren from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Tyler Warren, the No. 16 name on the board, sitting there at Round 2, Pick 29 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Travis left real value on the table behind him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 61st overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A reach on Oluwafemi Oladejo in No. 128; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
They let Jarquez Hunter come to them and pounced at pick No. 205. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at slot 245, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
