Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Kamran James selection is the head-turner. The Commanders reached 78 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Rodriguez pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Reese pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese is a better player than No. 22 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy slipping to the 62nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Value said wait; Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Rodriguez adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Good price on Kaytron Allen in Round 4, Pick 8, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A tidy little value on Tacario Davis in slot 123, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A clean, defensible pick in the 145th overall pick with a little surplus value in Beau Stephens. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
A reach for Eric McAlister in slot 165; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
No edge and no loss on Le'Veon Moss in No. 185; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at the 196th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Shamar Easter in Round 7, Pick 30. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
