Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 228th overall pick lands the Commanders a A-, Pearsall and all.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Landing Pearsall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If Bartholomew pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Laremy Tunsil leading the way.

In the end it comes back to Dallas Turner, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They jumped the gun on Troy Fautanu, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Wilson at pick 37 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at pick No. 56, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in No. 69 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in slot 100. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Nice patience on Will Shipley, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 13. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
A tidy bit of business in slot 139, where Jaden Hicks graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Gerald Mincey
Gerald Mincey in pick No. 161 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander is a better player than the 180th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Braden Fiske
A slide stopped in the 185th pick, with Braden Fiske worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Steve Linton
Steve Linton slid further than he should have, and pick 223 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts at pick No. 224 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 228th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gavin Bartholomew. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
