Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Nobody had David Ugwoegbu this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 52 spots to get him at the 181st pick. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix is a better player than the 35th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board had Troy Franklin higher than the 36th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marist Liufau at No. 102. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 104th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board fumbled Kris Abrams-Draine all the way to slot 141, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
A wild overpay on David Ugwoegbu in the 181st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 223, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
