Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureB+
The Commanders robbed the room for Jacobs. Final grade: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Curtis Jacobs tumbling to the Commanders in pick 220 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They are betting Taylor III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at slot 50 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the 53rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66
Rnd3
Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
The board had cheaper options than Leonard Taylor III at No. 101, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 103 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in the 138th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick160
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at pick 160 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 220th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
