Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
McCarthy is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Shipley at that price is a win they earned. Reaching for McCarthy left real value on the table behind him.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at the 36th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They talked themselves into Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sataoa Laumea
A wild overpay on Sataoa Laumea in No. 100, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaheim Bell in pick 102, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid a round early for Javion Cohen in the 141st overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Will Shipley
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Will Shipley in pick No. 181, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg in slot 223 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
