Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Commanders indulged a want in Liufau while a need in quarterback stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Liufau pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They will need Logue to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at slot 35 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in pick 36, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slipping to Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They liked Ja'Tavion Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the 44th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in No. 67, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 69 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They jumped the gun on Ray Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Marist Liufau, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 105th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid up for Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 33 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
They let Johnny Dixon come to them and pounced at slot 140. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in pick 141; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick 184 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in the 223rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
