Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a A-.

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.

Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story. The Rosemy-Jacksaint pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 28 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 46, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 53rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They read the board right and Kris Jenkins was the payoff at No. 59. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 62nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 72 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Devontez Walker in No. 82, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 93rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the 112th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in slot 150, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at slot 248 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
