Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Parrish. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Parrish. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

If Phillips pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Trey Hendrickson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Nothing to complain about; Tre Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They liked Jordan Phillips enough to skip the value, taking him in the 94th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach No. 135 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 151st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They took RJ Harvey at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
