Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders let Solomon fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Solomon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Sauce Gardner leading the way.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Good price on Ladd McConkey in Round 2, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in the 44th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at slot 46 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at Round 3, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in the 68th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They paid sticker price for Andru Phillips in No. 78, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A tidy little value on Roger Rosengarten in the 100th pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Erick All
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Erick All at pick 137 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Solomon
Taking Javon Solomon in pick No. 139 is close to grand larceny; an OLB-EDGE that good had no business lasting this long. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
