Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while cornerback and quarterback went begging.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 35th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 36th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in slot 39. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at pick No. 40. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Beebe this early at the 43rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 67th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 100 on Javon Solomon with cornerback and quarterback unsolved.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach Round 4, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in pick No. 104 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 141 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They went early on AJ Barner in No. 181, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
