Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Reaching for Clark left real value on the table behind him.

The Logan Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 4th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They took Bralen Trice at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 40, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 80 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 94, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in Round 4, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 173rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They liked De'Corian Clark enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 181. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
The board fumbled Kenny Logan Jr. all the way to slot 223, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
