Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Cooper Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 30 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zion Young
They paid sticker price for Zion Young in pick 39, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 70 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 130 with a little surplus value in Bud Clark. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Logan Jones in Round 5, Pick 1. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in the 196th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
