Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A.

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stover. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in Round 1, Pick 16 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at pick 36 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They let Tyler Guyton come to them and pounced at pick No. 40. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reach on Xavier Legette in No. 42; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 78th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermaine Burton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at the 86th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover is a better player than slot 100 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in the 118th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at Round 5, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
