Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Somebody took the Commanders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Cypress II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell in the 2nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick17 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They took Emeka Egbuka at par in slot 17, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emery Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones at No. 34, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at pick No. 66 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 R.J. Oben
They paid sticker price for R.J. Oben in the 81st pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd4 Jacobee Bryant
Jacobee Bryant in pick 98 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Edwards. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd6 Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Nice patience on Fentrell Cypress II, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 23. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in No. 209. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
