Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and McCoy: B.

Somebody in slot 228 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Bru McCoy, the No. 190 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Every board in the league had Hart lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt in Round 1, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 36th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Princely Umanmielen in No. 71. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
No edge and no loss on Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 100; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the 107th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick No. 144 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 185 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the 228th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
