Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Commanders let Roberts fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Paul lower, and that gap is the story.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Roberts. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 37, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Good price on Denzel Burke in pick No. 68, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 100 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 104th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy little value on Kiran Amegadjie in pick 105, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams slid further than he should have, and slot 141 is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to the 182nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Willie Roberts in Round 7, Pick 5, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
