Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Commanders let Simon fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Cody Simon slide 121 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Burch proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The veteran additions, Olumuyiwa Fashanu chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 29. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at slot 63 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 79th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in pick 95, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Taking Jonah Monheim in No. 188 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in the 202nd pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 207 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 209 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238 Rnd7 James Burnip
James Burnip in pick No. 238 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at the 256th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
