Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Blake Watson, 86 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Edwards. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 7th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in No. 49, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They paid up for Amarius Mims at slot 71 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jamon Dumas-Johnson did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Mahogany
A real head-scratcher, Christian Mahogany in pick No. 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in pick 151; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick185 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at Round 6, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
A big swing on Gavin Bartholomew at slot 228, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Marshel Martin
Marshel Martin at the 235th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
They liked Anthony Belton enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 238. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Watson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
