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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jordan Travis got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 181. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Powell-Ryland reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
No edge and no loss on Joe Alt in slot 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 36 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in pick No. 48, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 17 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reach for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 53rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kalen King
They barely believed it either: Kalen King still on the board at the 67th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in No. 70, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Good price on Michael Pratt in the 83rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Marist Liufau in No. 88 leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick96 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A quiet steal in pick 96: Christian Mahogany for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They read the board right and Brenden Rice was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at Round 4, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 109th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in slot 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at pick No. 115, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 119th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
They will replay Jordan Travis at the 181st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Blake Watson
No drama and no debate, Blake Watson went about where he belonged in No. 234. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
