Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C-
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for King: C-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The King pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Hit on Marvin Harrison Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They read the board right and Ja'Tavion Sanders was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kalen King
Kalen King in slot 68 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Mertz in the 225th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
