Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Some picks age like wine; Eric O'Neill at pick 187 will need to, sitting 76 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 22 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 23 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 7, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare at pick No. 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
A clean, defensible pick in the 123rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Bishop Fitzgerald. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 147 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Anderson at Round 5, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
They reached a country mile for Eric O'Neill at the 187th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 209 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at pick 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
