Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Commanders bet big and early on Junior Colson, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That Mustapha pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Ford is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 3 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A wild overpay on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slipping to the 40th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 67th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They went early on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A big swing on Khyree Jackson at the 100th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
A want over a need in pick No. 103: Jaylan Ford adds a linebacker while tight end, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
No edge and no loss on Jordan Travis in slot 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They barely believed it either: Malik Mustapha still on the board at No. 181. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in Round 7, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
