Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent No. 241 on Solomon Tuliaupupu, a name the board had a full 70 spots lower.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 22nd pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas in the 57th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Chaplin. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in No. 129 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 7 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
A wild overpay on Duce Robinson in slot 163, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in the 187th pick, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills is a better player than No. 198 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Quintrevion Wisner
Good price on Quintrevion Wisner in the 223rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A big swing on Solomon Tuliaupupu at slot 241, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
