Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 29 lands the Commanders a C+, Watts and all.

Everything else got attention, and tight end got none. That is a strange way for the Commanders to leave a draft.

Watts falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

If Omarion Hampton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They did well to land Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 104th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick No. 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in slot 179, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 205th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kitan Crawford. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
