Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for McCarthy: B+.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and J.J. McCarthy fell into Round 3, Pick 3.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
They will replay J.J. McCarthy at No. 67 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With wide receiver, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the 102nd overall pick on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick141 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at Round 5, Pick 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
By-the-book stuff, Sheridan Jones at pick 223 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
