Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Kain Medrano, 86 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in pick 36, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in slot 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Nothing to complain about; Jack Bech went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They took Brashard Smith at par in the 128th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek at Round 6, Pick 29 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
