Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Every board in the league had Tupuola-Fetui lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Chris Lindstrom leading the way.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A tidy little value on Bralen Trice in pick No. 43, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They liked Junior Colson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 67. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in No. 74, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A real head-scratcher, Malik Washington in Round 3, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 102 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A conviction pick on Sataoa Laumea at the 109th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in slot 181 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They paid sticker price for Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 223, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
