Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Bethune has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Jordan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Ryan Tannehill pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, with Amarius Mims leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Fair-plus on Bralen Trice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reach on Mike Sainristil in the 67th pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick 141 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reach for Christian Jones in the 181st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Value said wait; Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A running back of that caliber at slot 229 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
