Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Trapilo. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ozzy Trapilo, the No. 85 name on the board, stolen at the 108th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Burch reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the 30th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at the 79th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 175 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at Round 6, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at pick No. 238 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier slipping to slot 250 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
