Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a B+.

The Commanders torched the value chart for Ben Sinnott, taking him 41 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Commanders indulged a want in Eichenberg while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at the 35th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 36. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman slid further than he should have, and slot 40 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at No. 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in pick No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 5, where Chris Braswell graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Junior Colson in slot 100, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They took Ray Davis at par in the 104th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 105 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tommy Eichenberg adds a linebacker and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 141 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at pick No. 151. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A straight-up fair deal on Curtis Jacobs at the 181st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Taking Javon Baker in the 201st pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They barely believed it either: Jared Wiley still on the board at No. 223. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chad Lindberg. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
