Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a A- for the Commanders.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Brian O'Neill deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, with J.J. McCarthy leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 11 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 23 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 67th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 100th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 139th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at Round 7, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
