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

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Ben Sinnott, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hartman.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They paid sticker price for Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the 36th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick39 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in slot 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 40; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in pick 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in Round 3, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 102, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They read the board right and Jaylan Ford was the payoff at slot 181. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman is a better player than the 223rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
