Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a B.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Green pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 3, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A quiet steal in slot 147: CJ Daniels for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in No. 163, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 187th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 223 with a little surplus value in Thaddeus Dixon. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They took Jaren Kanak at par in pick 231, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
