Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a C+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Allen. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 17th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A reach on Graham Barton in pick No. 40; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They read the board right and J.J. McCarthy was the payoff at No. 50. The roster fit checks out.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chop Robinson in slot 53, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 67th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 96 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 34, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in pick 101, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
A wild overpay on James Williams in slot 111, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick181 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
The board fumbled Braelon Allen all the way to the 181st pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A clean, defensible pick in No. 220 with a little surplus value in Jordan Magee. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
