Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for DeMonte Capehart, 52 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in wide receiver and quarterback stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 6th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A real head-scratcher, Chris Braswell in slot 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 6 on Javon Solomon with wide receiver and quarterback unsolved.
Pick100 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They took Audric Estime at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver and quarterback to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 107 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at No. 141 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in the 181st pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at pick No. 223. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
