Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Sam Hartman at pick No. 217 is 66 spots clear of where he belonged. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jacobs.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in pick No. 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in Round 3, Pick 15, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at No. 90 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to pick No. 101 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 103rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They read the board right and Ray Davis was the payoff at slot 118. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 177th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 181 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They paid a round early for Drake Nugent in No. 188, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick232 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They paid up for Logan Lee at the 232nd pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
