Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Nix is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 14 is 36 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They have staked the next five years on Bo Nix, which is the only story that really matters here.

The Baker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A slide stopped in pick No. 36, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the 40th pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Tavion Sanders a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A clean, defensible pick in pick 67 with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
The board had Jonathon Brooks higher than No. 75, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A quiet steal in pick 100: Jalen McMillan for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the 106th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 5, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
They paid sticker price for Delmar Glaze in the 181st overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in pick No. 201 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in Round 7, Pick 3 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater in No. 228 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 234th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
