Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Edwards: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Daijun Edwards slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

It is not that Gray is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 6 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Fair-plus on Amarius Mims, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 35th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 43. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at the 50th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Jenkins at No. 57 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in No. 101, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A surprising call. With tight end, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 126 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick138 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson is a better player than slot 138 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Daijun Edwards in Round 6, Pick 6, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 220th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
