Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
A passer of the future in Nix, and a A, for the Commanders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Bo Nix is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Dixon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Brian O'Neill pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, with Bo Nix leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 23 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 4. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Good price on Ladd McConkey in No. 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slipping to pick 78 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 100th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in the 108th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 139th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to Round 7, Pick 2, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
