Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Neal: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devin Neal slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at the 182nd overall pick. Highway robbery.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in the 36th pick, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jared Verse
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 5: Jared Verse for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than No. 141, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at pick 182 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marques Cox
Good price on Marques Cox in the 225th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
