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

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Murphy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Burton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Nice patience on Jermaine Burton, who had no business lasting to the 72nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board had Brenden Rice higher than pick 100, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 107th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They went early on Jaheim Bell in No. 108, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabriel Murphy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in slot 185, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They did well to land Bryce Foster in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 202nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Fair-plus on Zy Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
