Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Collin Oliver, taking him 113 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They banked enough surplus on Belton to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 99th overall pick, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick140 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 140th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at slot 207, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in slot 238 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 250 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
