Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the Tampa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 23rd overall pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A slide stopped in No. 36, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The board had cheaper options than T.J. Tampa at pick No. 40, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They did well to land Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 78, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They read the board right and Gabriel Murphy was the payoff at slot 100. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 108th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
A quiet steal in pick No. 139: Isaac Guerendo for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 152 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Wiley at the 222nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
