Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jarrian Jones slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at slot 181. Highway robbery. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Every board in the league had Suamataia lower, and that gap is the story.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 10 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They reached into another round for Kingsley Suamataia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in pick 47. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in No. 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 69th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Khyree Jackson reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 138th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid up for Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 220th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in pick No. 254 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
