Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took Joe Milton III a full 92 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Hit on JC Latham and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 23rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 36th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at pick 40 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 3, Pick 3 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in No. 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They talked themselves into Michael Pratt at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tykee Smith this early at pick No. 139. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wild overpay on Jha'Quan Jackson in the 152nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
