Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for J.J. Weaver, 114 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 42 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick79 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
The board had Azareye'h Thomas higher than the 79th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 123rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 200 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 207 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to pick No. 238, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
