Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a A- weekend for the Commanders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Coleman has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 23rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 36th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Fair-plus on Troy Franklin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had cheaper options than Max Melton at pick 67, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in No. 100. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in Theo Johnson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
They talked themselves into Brandon Coleman at the 152nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy is a better player than the 222nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
