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

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Commanders never got to the one that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Fuaga pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 7 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in Round 2, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
The board had Taliese Fuaga higher than the 39th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 100. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick 107 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 144, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at the 185th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan is a better player than the 228th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
