Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 228: the Commanders steal Cowing and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jacob Cowing slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick No. 228. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Isaac pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Devin White pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 7 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They read the board right and Taliese Fuaga was the payoff at No. 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They jumped the gun on Cooper DeJean, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in Round 3, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
They reached into another round for Adisa Isaac, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at the 185th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
They robbed the room for Jacob Cowing here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
