Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Commanders robbed the room for Farmer. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Joshua Farmer sat on the board until No. 205, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice.

The Travis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 30th pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 66th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Value with a capital V on Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 26, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 133 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in pick No. 226 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in No. 245 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
