Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 13 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the 23rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 40 with a little surplus value in Ja'Tavion Sanders. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Fair-plus on Christian Haynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Andru Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in the 101st pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They did well to land Jaylin Simpson in the 142nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Nice patience on Curtis Jacobs, who had no business lasting to pick 208. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
