Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Cedric Johnson, 72 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Bullard at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 2 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bo Nix in pick No. 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Troy Franklin. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A safety of that caliber at the 67th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 100 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They did well to land Roger Rosengarten in slot 139, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 2, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
