Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders let Thomas Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: 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 sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Thomas Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 10 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 16 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 37th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A slide stopped in pick No. 68, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 79th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at slot 100 when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in the 104th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in pick 121, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Nothing to complain about; Shemar Turner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Nelson in No. 194. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at the 225th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
