Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: D.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 1, a good 43 spots before the room expected him. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With running back unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Milton III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 9 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 35, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Circle this one: Dallas Turner at the 36th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at pick No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A want over a need in the 99th pick: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while running back keeps waiting.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A surprising call. With running back still to address, they spent the 101st overall pick on Tommy Eichenberg, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in No. 109, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Value with a capital V on Kamal Hadden in pick No. 178, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joe Milton III
Taking Joe Milton III in pick 222 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
