Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Commanders let McCoy fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Bru McCoy slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Every board in the league had Sinnott lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The veteran additions, Devin White chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 35th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A reach for Patrick Paul in the 36th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slipping to No. 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at Round 3, Pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 107. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in pick 108 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 5, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 186, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick 194 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
They barely believed it either: Bru McCoy still on the board at the 218th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228
Rnd7
Rylie Mills
A wild overpay on Rylie Mills in the 228th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
