Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Billy Bowman Jr. at the 228th overall pick regardless, 120 picks early.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Spending an early pick on defensive back with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 21 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A curious use of the 36th overall pick. Cornerback, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in T.J. Tampa did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A tidy little value on Malachi Corley in pick No. 66, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in Round 3, Pick 7 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn in pick 144 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 10 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
