Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Christian McCaffrey leading the way.

In the end it comes back to Amarius Mims, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Value with a capital V on Amarius Mims in No. 34, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A clean, defensible pick in the 36th overall pick with a little surplus value in JT Tuimoloau. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in Round 2, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 66, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in slot 100, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Wease
They did well to land Theo Wease in the 139th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at pick No. 223 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
