Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Commanders a A, Clark and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and De'Corian Clark fell into pick 223. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Hall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The veteran additions, Ryan Tannehill chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, with Brock Bowers leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 7 they get a security blanket over the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Nothing to complain about; JT Tuimoloau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 67th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Fair-plus on Tykee Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at the 102nd pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Khyree Jackson at No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They robbed the room for De'Corian Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
