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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

Landing Lovett that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Sanders left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Troy Fautanu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Fautanu in pick No. 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 40th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 55; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Good price on Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan is a better player than slot 102 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
A quiet steal in pick No. 141: Johnny Dixon for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They read the board right and Ty'Ron Hopper was the payoff at No. 165. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
