Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Kain Medrano, 86 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They banked enough surplus on Starks to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 63rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Fair-plus on Jack Bech, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in Round 3, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at pick 240, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano in the 245th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek in Round 7, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick No. 251 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A clean, defensible pick in No. 257 with a little surplus value in Teddye Buchanan. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
