Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a D.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Vincent Anthony Jr., 64 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In slot 20 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached into another round for Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in pick No. 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
They reached a country mile for Eric O'Neill at Round 6, Pick 3, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominic Zvada this early at the 185th pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
Value said wait; Tony Grimes in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Noah Thomas in Round 7, Pick 12, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
They paid sticker price for Tosh Baker in pick No. 238, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
