Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nix is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The cost of the Carter reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On value alone, Fiske makes the weekend a net positive.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Good price on JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A reach on Tyler Guyton in the 40th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They went early on Christian Haynes in No. 67, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 94th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Braden Fiske
The board had Braden Fiske higher than pick 102, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 141 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 6. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They paid up for Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
