Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Larceny in the 222nd overall pick lands the Commanders a A-, Baker and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Baker tumbling to the Commanders in No. 222 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 7 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than the 34th overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in pick 36: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in Round 2, Pick 6 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A tidy bit of business in the 40th pick, where Bo Nix graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in No. 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 100 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
They barely believed it either: Mohamed Kamara still on the board at pick No. 152. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Javon Baker
Circle this one: Javon Baker at pick 222 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
