Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The needs board said one thing and the Commanders did another, using No. 102 on Javon Solomon while edge rusher waited.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Lloyd value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
They paid sticker price for Brock Bowers in slot 2, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 36 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 37 with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in slot 102 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick141 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 141st overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taulia Tagovailoa. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
