Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders robbed the room for Clark. Final grade: A-.

Call it larceny. De'Corian Clark sat on the board until pick 228, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Commanders indulged a want in Gray while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Dallas Turner leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 11 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 40th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in Round 2, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 48th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in slot 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in No. 100, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
The board had Jamari Thrash higher than No. 102, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
They read the board right and Jacob Cowing was the payoff at the 109th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at the 116th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at pick No. 141 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They let Luke McCaffrey come to them and pounced at slot 145. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 6, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick189 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 189th pick, where Isaiah Davis graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 195th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They robbed the room for Jawhar Jordan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sheridan Jones in Round 7, Pick 7. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 228 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
No edge and no loss on Demani Richardson in pick 237; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick244 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in No. 244 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
