Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: A-.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They are betting Limmer proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 11 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 34th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They paid a round early for Marist Liufau in pick No. 75, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 100 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They reached into another round for Beaux Limmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Sainristil a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 223, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
