Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 100: the Commanders steal Bullard and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Javon Bullard slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 37. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The cost of the Sanders reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They liked Ja'Tavion Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 39th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Franklin in No. 40. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 67th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They let Bucky Irving come to them and pounced at slot 102. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Nothing to complain about; Cam Hart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in the 181st pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They took Brevyn Spann-Ford at par in the 223rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
