Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: A-. 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.
They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. If Laumea pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 3, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 39th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A conviction pick on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 49 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at pick No. 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 101 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick103
Rnd4
Beau Brade
The board had cheaper options than Beau Brade at the 103rd overall pick, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
A real head-scratcher, Sataoa Laumea in the 105th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in No. 109 leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick138
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They liked JD Bertrand enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 190. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220
Rnd6
Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in pick 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 222 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
