Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: A-.

The Commanders did not so much draft Ben Sinnott as overpay for him, 43 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

That King pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick No. 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 39th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 47 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kalen King
Taking Kalen King in the 67th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Good price on Zach Frazier in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 3, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Steal is underselling it; Junior Colson at pick No. 102 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 141 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 143, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A tidy bit of business in No. 181, where Andru Phillips graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
