Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders let Singer fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Dorian Singer had no business being available in pick 225, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in slot 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 37th pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in pick 100, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They took Nehemiah Pritchett at par in Round 5, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom is a better player than the 182nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
You do not let a wide receiver like Dorian Singer reach the 225th overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
