Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Erick All in the 180th overall pick, a good 70 spots before the room expected him. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Tampa at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nothing to complain about; Keon Coleman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at No. 66 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A wild overpay on Cade Stover in the 100th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They reached into another round for Mohamed Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 139 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Restrepo at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
