Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took Luke Lachey a full 29 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Mondon Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, quarterback and other spots. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the 23rd overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A conviction pick on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 39 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in the 55th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 71 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A want over a need in pick No. 100: Smael Mondon Jr. adds a linebacker while cornerback, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in No. 107 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Moore a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in pick No. 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Landon Jackson
No drama and no debate, Landon Jackson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 8. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
