Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders let Braswell fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They are betting Barner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Nothing to complain about; Terrion Arnold went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A real head-scratcher, Cooper Beebe in No. 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the 79th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100 Rnd3 AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at Round 3, Pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A reach on Beau Brade in pick No. 104; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beaux Limmer. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in the 182nd pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at pick 225 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
