Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Ja'Whaun Bentley deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 3 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at pick 42, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at slot 66 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in Round 3, Pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the 102nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
