Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 68 picks early on Solomon Tuliaupupu, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Mathews Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 11 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 13, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare slipping to pick 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Duce Robinson in the 146th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen in the 197th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at pick 223 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
