Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

Grand theft in pick No. 180: the Commanders steal Pritchett and grade out a A-. The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Nehemiah Pritchett, the No. 140 name on the board, sitting there at the 180th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If Liufau pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in pick No. 42, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
By-the-book stuff, Kris Jenkins at No. 55 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They went early on Marist Liufau in Round 3, Pick 2, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 89 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in the 100th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139
Rnd5
Beaux Limmer
They paid sticker price for Beaux Limmer in pick 139, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 19. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160
Rnd5
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 160 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 167th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 180th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
They will replay Jacob Cowing at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jalen Berger
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen Berger a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
