Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Luke Reimer. He came off 153 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Landing Whittington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 14th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Nothing to complain about; Taliese Fuaga went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 78 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javion Cohen
A real head-scratcher, Javion Cohen in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 114 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Luke Reimer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Reimer this early at pick No. 192. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
