Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Ali: 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.

Landing Ali that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 22nd pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 67th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 75 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in No. 100: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
You do not let a cornerback like Mike Sainristil reach pick No. 102 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in slot 141; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
