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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while running back and interior defensive lineman went begging. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Speights makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 35th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at pick No. 36, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 40; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in pick 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the 67th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 37 on Javon Solomon with running back and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick102 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
No edge and no loss on Michael Pratt in the 102nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They paid a round early for Nelson Ceaser in Round 4, Pick 5, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the 181st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Value with a capital V on Omar Speights in No. 223, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
