FutureA+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Javon Baker. He came off 50 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Getting Simpson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 14th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Fair-plus on Kamren Kinchens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 39, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A reach for Chris Braswell in pick No. 43; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
You do not let a wide receiver like Jermaine Burton reach pick No. 67 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 68th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick103
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They read the board right and Audric Estime was the payoff at No. 111. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136
Rnd4
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 138 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 6, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 182nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220
Rnd6
AJ Barner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, AJ Barner at the 220th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
