Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Theo Johnson, 48 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Eichenberg pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman. Landing Sainristil that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in pick No. 36, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 40th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 100 on Tommy Eichenberg with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach pick 103 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid a round early for Jaylen Wright in pick No. 141, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A big swing on Jared Wiley at the 181st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at No. 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
