Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a D to match. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Joe Milton III at pick 143, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
The Phillips steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
A straight-up fair deal on Brock Bowers at the 5th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 6th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in slot 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick 67 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 78. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Gabriel Murphy at No. 100. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A clean, defensible pick in pick 107 with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 109th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in slot 139 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Andru Phillips
You do not let a cornerback like Andru Phillips reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 141st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at the 222nd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
