Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent the 223rd overall pick on Dominic Zvada, a name most had 81 spots down the list.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at Round 2, Pick 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deion Burks
They reached a country mile for Deion Burks at the 71st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at pick 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
No drama and no debate, Beau Stephens went about where he belonged in the 145th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
They did well to land Dae'Quan Wright in slot 185, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at No. 196 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in pick 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
