Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

They will need Cole to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Terrion Arnold, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at slot 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 43 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 56 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 67 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
You do not let a running back like Jonathon Brooks reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board had Patrick Paul higher than the 78th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They liked Theo Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 13. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They jumped the gun on Johnny Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 120th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in slot 171, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 6, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They paid a round early for Trevin Wallace in No. 222, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
