Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 223: the Commanders steal Jordan and grade out a C.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Commanders shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

However the rest shakes out, Jordan at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

If Kool-Aid McKinstry and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 22nd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 102nd pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Nothing to complain about; Dallin Holker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 181 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jawhar Jordan in slot 223, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
