Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a A-, for the Commanders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The Wallace reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while running back and interior defensive lineman went begging. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. McCarthy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 36 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at the 53rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A clean, defensible pick in the 67th pick with a little surplus value in Malachi Corley. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at pick 78, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and interior defensive lineman to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They did well to land Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 36, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Fair-plus on Mohamed Kamara, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 175th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 210 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
