Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Alexander: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Zy Alexander had no business being available in No. 225, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 4th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
A tidy little value on Terrion Arnold in No. 36, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at Round 3, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
The board fumbled Marist Liufau all the way to the 104th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in slot 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
