Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The cost of the Sinnott reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 27 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the 40th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in slot 57, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nice patience on Jaden Hicks, who had no business lasting to pick No. 89. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They read the board right and Khyree Jackson was the payoff at the 99th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They liked Dylan Laube enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 138. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey is a better player than pick No. 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Elijah Jones reach No. 222 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
