Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Vinson: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Carson Vinson, pick No. 245, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
A quiet steal in pick No. 29: Matthew Golden for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A tidy little value on Azareye'h Thomas in pick 61, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They let Terrance Ferguson come to them and pounced at the 128th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at slot 205 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 245th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
