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

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

However the rest shakes out, Hardy at that price is a win they earned. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Kyle Pitts by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 8th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at slot 36 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 40. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 99 with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick 101, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 138th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Value with a capital V on Sione Vaki in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
You do not let a cornerback like Daequan Hardy reach the 222nd pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
