Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on McCarthy: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. J.J. McCarthy had no business being available in pick No. 68, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The cost of the Ratledge reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with JC Latham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
No edge and no loss on JC Latham in the 16th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
The board had Dallas Turner higher than the Round 2 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 48. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 68th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A conviction pick on Tate Ratledge at Round 3, Pick 37 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 AJ Barner
Nothing to complain about; AJ Barner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers slid further than he should have, and No. 141 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tre Harris
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Tre Harris graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Steve Linton
Steve Linton at pick 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
