Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice tight end is still a hole. The Commanders never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Moten that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Nice patience on Sonny Styles, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Good price on Daylen Everette in slot 71, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They did well to land Brian Parker II in the 78th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the 113th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jadarian Price in pick 145. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A straight-up fair deal on Aamil Wagner at No. 187, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
They let Trinidad Chambliss come to them and pounced at No. 198. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at slot 223 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
