Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The cost of the Eichenberg reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Eichenberg pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and interior defensive lineman still on the board. The Jordan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In the end it comes back to Troy Fautanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 40th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A tidy little value on Jonah Elliss in No. 50, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 100th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 2. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a linebacker in Tommy Eichenberg did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
By-the-book stuff, Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 181 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Circle this one: Jawhar Jordan at the 223rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
