Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders let Cowing fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

Somebody in pick 222 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Jacob Cowing, the No. 147 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 31st pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy slipping to slot 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach pick No. 63 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 67 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 100th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 102 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 139 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slid further than he should have, and the 179th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
They robbed the room for Jacob Cowing here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
