Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Amegadjie should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kiran Amegadjie got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Braswell left real value on the table behind him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slipping to pick No. 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in the 40th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 37, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 102nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 181. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Taking Jared Wiley in slot 223 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
