Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders found their guy under center in McCarthy: A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will need Thomas to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 34 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 36th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick 47 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They paid sticker price for Cade Stover in the 67th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Somehow Junior Colson was still sitting there in pick No. 78, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at slot 100 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 115th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at pick 129, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at No. 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 152nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in Round 7, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
