The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 67 on Javon Solomon a full 41 spots early.

They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
By-the-book stuff, Joe Alt at Round 1, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 28
A quiet steal in pick No. 36: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 24
A tidy bit of business in slot 37, where Troy Franklin graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens at the 40th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 67 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at No. 69 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
The board fumbled Mike Sainristil all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
A slide stopped in pick No. 102, with McKinnley Jackson worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
A clean, defensible pick in the 141st pick with a little surplus value in Kamal Hadden. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 179
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
A straight-up fair deal on Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 223, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
