Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

NeedB

FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B+. The Commanders did not so much draft Hunter Nourzad as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in pick 35, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the 36th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick40
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in No. 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 67 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A curious use of the 101st pick. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Audric Estime
A reasonable price with a little left over, Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in the 105th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at slot 142 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Javon Baker
By-the-book stuff, Javon Baker at No. 181 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 45, with Isaiah Williams worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222
Rnd7
Hunter Nourzad
A big swing on Hunter Nourzad at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
They jumped the gun on Brevyn Spann-Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
