Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: A-.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Joe Milton III went at pick 139, a good 61 picks before the board was ready.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, Jenkins at that price is a win they earned.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 20th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in slot 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 40th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and pick 78 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The board had Cade Stover higher than the Round 3 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 100 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick187 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at the 187th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
