Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A-

FutureA
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Commanders reached some 55 spots for Ben Sinnott, and value like that does not grow back. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The Washington pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Kaleb McGary deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at the 33rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Michael Penix Jr.
Circle this one: Michael Penix Jr. at No. 36 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the 39th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at Round 2, Pick 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
They read the board right and Adonai Mitchell was the payoff at pick 43. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 65 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 67 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 14, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick No. 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A quiet steal in the 101st overall pick: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd5
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Caelen Carson
You do not let a cornerback like Caelen Carson reach the 139th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo is a better player than the 143rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick 152 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 187 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Taking Steele Chambers in No. 222 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
