Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B+.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They are betting Cephus proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They reached a country mile for J.J. McCarthy at Round 1, Pick 8, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in No. 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
A big swing on Blake Fisher at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in slot 43 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 47th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Value with a capital V on Jaden Hicks in pick 70, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick78 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker slipping to the 78th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 100th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A slide stopped in the 139th pick, with Brennan Jackson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 James Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at No. 152 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Value said wait; Joshua Cephus in pick 222 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
