Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent pick 253 on Devin Leary, a name most had 37 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

That Ali pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 8 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 18th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 36th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at No. 40. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 3, Pick 3 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in the 79th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in No. 80, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 103 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 123rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They reached into another round for Luke McCaffrey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 181 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They paid sticker price for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 220, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Value said wait; Devin Leary in pick No. 253 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They robbed the room for Rasheen Ali here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 257 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
