Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The cost of the Vidal reach is exactly the players who went right after him. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 10 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They took Ja'Tavion Sanders at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in slot 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 100th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in No. 110, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Fair-plus on Jaylin Simpson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A tidy bit of business in the 143rd overall pick, where Jamari Thrash graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
