Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Evan Williams at Round 7, Pick 8 is 75 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Wilson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In No. 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A reach for Jordan Morgan in the 34th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in the 39th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in slot 51 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 100 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A curious use of pick No. 107. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Payton Wilson did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 144th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
The board had cheaper options than Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A slide stopped in No. 185, with Ty'Ron Hopper worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Williams this early at pick 228. A minor need, but a need all the same.
