Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Commanders did exactly that with Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Landing Tuimoloau that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 36. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 7 is lovely value for the edge rusher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 71 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Value said wait; Troy Fautanu in the 100th overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 107th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They did well to land Jamari Thrash in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
The board had cheaper options than Christian Mahogany at pick 185, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at slot 228, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
