Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Caden Curry, 48 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 7 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They talked themselves into Caden Curry at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at the 185th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at slot 196 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Raylen Wilson at pick No. 223 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
