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. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Irving pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Cooper value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The D.K. Metcalf deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to Cooper DeJean, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 3: Edgerrin Cooper for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A conviction pick on Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A straight-up fair deal on Spencer Rattler at the 84th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in No. 100, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the 102nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick No. 141 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in Round 6, Pick 6. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 223rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
A tidy little value on Kurtis Rourke in pick 241, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
