Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jawhar Jordan at the 222nd pick regardless, 57 picks early.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Tampa at that price is a win they earned.

If JC Latham and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
No drama and no debate, JC Latham went about where he belonged in No. 11. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 23 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bo Nix in pick 36. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 14, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They talked themselves into Michael Pratt at No. 100, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jha'Quan Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 222, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
