Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Newton: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

However the rest shakes out, Newton at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Powers-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while quarterback and interior defensive lineman went begging.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 34, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They went early on Patrick Paul in the 36th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A quiet steal in the 43rd pick: Kamren Kinchens for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick47 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Value with a capital V on Bralen Trice in pick No. 47, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 67. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Josh Newton
You do not let a cornerback like Josh Newton reach pick 103 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 142nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Nothing to complain about; Miyan Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
