Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Alexander fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Zy Alexander slide 147 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart slipping to No. 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in the 108th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 128 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Taking Miles Frazier in the 180th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
You do not let an edge rusher like Barryn Sorrell reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Zy Alexander at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
