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

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Cam Coleman and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 60 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Peter Clarke
They paid up for Peter Clarke at No. 71 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They paid sticker price for Kade Pieper in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain at the 126th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
A clean, defensible pick in the 145th pick with a little surplus value in Xavier Lucas. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eric Singleton Jr.
Good price on Eric Singleton Jr. in No. 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Alliegro at the 196th pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at Round 7, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
