Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Commanders a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dominic Zvada, 108 picks early at the 187th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Stewart falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 7 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A tidy little value on Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mikail Kamara. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They jumped the gun on Kage Casey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tony Grimes in the 198th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Evan Stewart at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
