Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

Nobody had Jawhar Jordan this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 77 spots to get him at the 223rd overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 2nd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at slot 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in pick No. 42, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 100 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A reach on Cole Bishop in the 139th pick; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 223, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
