Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders let Jordan fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The Jordan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in cornerback and edge rusher stayed open. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at No. 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than pick No. 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in Round 3, Pick 17, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at cornerback and edge rusher sat open.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Value with a capital V on Zak Zinter in pick 102, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in the 141st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in slot 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 223rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
