Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Tanor Bortolini, taking him 36 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Kinchens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at the 40th overall pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 46, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick47 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at slot 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 49 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 67 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A reach for Jarrian Jones in the 138th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They paid up for AJ Barner at the 150th pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick 181 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 220 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They went early on Kimani Vidal in the 230th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
