Las Vegas received Washington's 2021 sixth-round selection, No. 203, after sending David Sharpe and a seventh-rounder to Washington. The Raiders later moved that sixth in another transaction, so that later return is separate from this deal. The direct asset had value, but it did not create a clear Raiders contribution that outweighed Washington's immediate tackle depth plus the extra pick.
Las Vegas Raiders Received
- pick 2021 6th round pick (203rd overall subsequently traded, Marquez Stevenson )
Washington Commanders Received

- pick 2021 7th round pick (244th overall subsequently traded, Gerrid Doaks )
Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2020-09-01, Las Vegas Raiders received 2021 6th round pick (203rd overall subsequently traded, Marquez Stevenson), while Washington Commanders received David Sharpe; 2021 7th round pick (244th overall subsequently traded, Gerrid Doaks). This hindsight grade considers only the consideration each club controlled directly after the transaction. When an acquired selection or player later moved again, that later move is treated as provenance rather than as extra compensation. The central question is what practical football value each side ultimately created from the assets in this exchange.
Las Vegas Raiders Return
Las Vegas received Washington's 2021 sixth-round selection, No. 203, after sending David Sharpe and a seventh-rounder to Washington. The Raiders later moved that sixth in another transaction, so that later return is separate from this deal. The direct asset had value, but it did not create a clear Raiders contribution that outweighed Washington's immediate tackle depth plus the extra pick. The return is judged by usable games, starts, role value, or retained draft value that came directly from this exchange.
Washington Commanders Return
Washington acquired David Sharpe and a 2021 seventh-round selection for a 2021 sixth. Sharpe appeared in 10 games with two starts for Washington in 2020, providing real offensive-line depth during a division-winning season. The seventh-rounder was later moved, but Sharpe's immediate service gives Washington enough realized value to edge the Raiders in a modest exchange. The same standard applies here, keeping later unrelated transactions separate from the original bargain.
Value in Hindsight
Washington received immediate offensive-line depth from Sharpe plus a seventh-round asset, while Las Vegas received a sixth that later moved again. Sharpe's 10 games and two starts provide the clearest direct on-field value, making Washington's advantage real but modest. Taken together, those outcomes support Washington Commanders Win and the stated grade separation. The scale remains proportional to the size of the deal and the certainty of the evidence rather than overstating a minor transaction.
Final Verdict
Las Vegas Raiders receives a C+ and Washington Commanders receives a B-. The verdict is Washington Commanders Win. This conclusion reflects the direct assets, the football value each club actually realized, and the duration of that value. It does not award extra credit for later unrelated transactions involving an acquired pick or player.
