Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Edwards from sliding. Grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Donovan Edwards at Round 6, Pick 13 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Prieskorn to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Colson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and interior defensive lineman still on the board.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 49th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 71, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 100th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A want over a need in slot 107: Junior Colson adds a linebacker while quarterback and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A conviction pick on Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 8 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in No. 185 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
They robbed the room for Donovan Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
They reached a country mile for Caden Prieskorn at pick 195, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit is a better player than the 220th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
