Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Commanders made a strange one, taking T.J. Tampa at defensive back in pick No. 42 with running back and interior defensive lineman crying out for the pick instead. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Burton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking T.J. Tampa at defensive back with running back and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick71 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at pick 72 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at the 102nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
They took Jason Marshall Jr. at par in pick No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 133 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cameron Ward
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Ward. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 145. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 185th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at slot 228 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
