Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA
Grand theft in No. 57: the Commanders steal Thieneman and grade out a D.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher went begging. The Cuevas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Thieneman makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
By-the-book stuff, Sonny Styles at Round 1, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at pick No. 65 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Rodriguez adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Muhammad in the 104th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nothing to complain about; Jalon Kilgore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid sticker price for Logan Jones in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Value said wait; Albert Regis in pick No. 145 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Taylen Green
No edge and no loss on Taylen Green in Round 6, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu in the 185th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
They talked themselves into Josh Cuevas at No. 223, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Value with a capital V on Jaren Kanak in slot 241, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
