Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Sturdivant: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let J. Michael Sturdivant slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick 185. Highway robbery.

The Howell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Commanders indulged a want in Mondon Jr. while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in the 25th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They let Terrion Arnold come to them and pounced at pick 36. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 40th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in Round 2, Pick 32, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and pick No. 71 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in No. 97, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at slot 100 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Smael Mondon Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick108 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in slot 108 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 144 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick185 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
Steal is underselling it; J. Michael Sturdivant at the 185th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Steve Linton
Steve Linton is a better player than pick 186 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jack Howell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Howell well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
