Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson slid further than he should have, and slot 25 is lovely value for the edge rusher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They went early on Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They paid a round early for Jermaine Burton in the 44th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Rod Moore in pick 71 leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick100 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the 100th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 7. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
They jumped the gun on Donovan Edwards, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at the 162nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Storm Duck
A reach on Storm Duck in Round 7, Pick 8; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
