Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Commanders let Marshall Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 148 name on the board, sitting there at the 225th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 6 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Amarius Mims in the 36th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in slot 100. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 141st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Fair-plus on Nehemiah Pritchett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
No edge and no loss on Michael Barrett in the 182nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
They robbed the room for Jason Marshall Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
