Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Blake Watson. He came off 118 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Commanders indulged a want in McKinstry while a need in cornerback, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots to take Kool-Aid McKinstry, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid up for Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Nothing to complain about; JT Tuimoloau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams in pick 100 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick107 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in No. 107. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They reached a country mile for Ben Sinnott at the 144th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Cowing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They talked themselves into Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 8, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
