Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Jordan Hall. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeremiyah Love at Round 1, Pick 12. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in slot 112 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 145th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa slipping to the 185th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
They liked Josh Cuevas enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 196. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Value said wait; Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 7 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
