Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
The Commanders won the night they stopped Simon from sliding. Grade: A-.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Cody Simon, the No. 120 name on the board, sitting there at slot 246 like a gift left on the doorstep. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. 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
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 90th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in No. 97, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick 123 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 179 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Xavier Scott
Circle this one: Xavier Scott at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 236th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at slot 246 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
