Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Erick All at the 180th overall pick, a reach of 70 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jordan. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They did well to land JT Tuimoloau in pick 34, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 42 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 66 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They jumped the gun on Marshawn Kneeland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 102nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at Round 5, Pick 3. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
The board fumbled Jawhar Jordan all the way to pick No. 223, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
