Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Rice: B.

Somebody in pick 141 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Brenden Rice, the No. 113 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A conviction pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at pick No. 68. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in pick 100. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zak Zinter in No. 104. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 141 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 182nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
A tidy little value on Kaimon Rucker in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
