Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Rodriguez should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jacob Rodriguez at pick 71 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They are betting Whittington proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 7 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They robbed the room for Jacob Rodriguez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Amare Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Amare Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Gulbin. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slid further than he should have, and pick No. 209 is lovely value for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
They went early on Noah Whittington in Round 7, Pick 7, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
