Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot, a good 50 spots before the room expected him.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

Adding Jessie Bates III by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Olumuyiwa Fashanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in slot 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at No. 43, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at the 67th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A wild overpay on Cedric Gray in No. 78, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A quiet steal in the 139th pick: Johnny Wilson for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
