Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders let McClain fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Jaylen McClain slides to the Round 4 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Jaycee Horn leading the way.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson slid further than he should have, and slot 51 is lovely value for the tight end. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Reed Harris
They took Reed Harris at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Greg Johnson reach the 73rd pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in pick 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney slipping to the 148th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at No. 162 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jacob Ponton
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Ponton at Round 6, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Hawthorne at pick No. 230, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
