Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a A-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Dylan McMahon, 53 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Proctor. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 36, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Johnny Wilson in Round 2, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A tidy bit of business in the 67th overall pick, where Brandon Dorlus graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Mahogany in slot 100, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 102 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
They reached a country mile for Dylan McMahon at the 181st overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Phil Jurkovec at the 243rd pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
