Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

The Commanders torched the value chart for John Williams, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
They took Nic Scourton at par in the 29th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They went early on Zy Alexander in pick No. 61, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A reach for Jordan Burch in the 79th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams in No. 207 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Somehow Ja'Quinden Jackson was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 20, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 250 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
