Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in the 207th pick lands the Commanders a B+, Cornelius and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ajani Cornelius slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at slot 207. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Joyner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding Jordan Morgan by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 54th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick 61 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Zy Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 95 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 121st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jah Joyner in pick No. 123, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
They talked themselves into Ben Yurosek at Round 7, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They paid up for Nick Martin at pick No. 250 when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
