Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent the Round 7 slot on Kain Medrano, a name most had 93 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
Landing Trader Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the 37th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at slot 63. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 66th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
No drama and no debate, Maxwell Hairston went about where he belonged in pick 68. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 70 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in slot 109 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in the 132nd pick: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
No edge and no loss on Andres Borregales in the 154th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick205
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick No. 205 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They took Carson Vinson at par in Round 7, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
A wild overpay on Kain Medrano in No. 244, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 245 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at pick No. 257 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
