Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a A-. The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Cooper Beebe, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, with Olumuyiwa Fashanu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in pick No. 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
They talked themselves into Cooper Beebe at the 40th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
A quiet steal in the 67th overall pick: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick68
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
The board had cheaper options than Gabriel Murphy at No. 68, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the Round 3 slot leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 102 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in the 141st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in pick No. 143, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
The board had Andru Phillips higher than No. 181, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 3 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
