Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Javon Solomon at the 69th overall pick is 39 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Landing Simpson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
A tidy little value on Joe Alt in No. 6, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at slot 35 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Troy Franklin for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in pick No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at No. 67 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 69 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 5 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Somehow Miyan Williams was still sitting there in slot 223, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
