Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The final tally is a middling C-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Hit on Taliese Fuaga and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 18 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reach for Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 78th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 100 with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in the 115th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A conviction pick on Justin Eboigbe at the 139th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at pick 152. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They jumped the gun on Trevin Wallace, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
