Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The tape said wait; the Commanders did not. Malachi Lawrence went at pick No. 111, a good 37 picks before the board was ready.

That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Fair-plus on Arvell Reese, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in slot 43, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board had Keionte Scott higher than the 74th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malachi Lawrence well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
By-the-book stuff, Beau Stephens at pick 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 146th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They read the board right and Aamil Wagner was the payoff at pick 176. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
They liked Dallen Bentley enough to skip the value, taking him in the 185th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Nice patience on Taylen Green, who had no business lasting to No. 196. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A slide stopped in pick No. 223, with Thaddeus Dixon worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
