Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Malcolm Jenkins leading the way. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Haynes.

Job largely done: tight end settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reach for Patrick Paul in the 39th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at the 71st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in Round 3, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick107 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in slot 107. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 AJ Barner
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on AJ Barner. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
