Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The Commanders won the night they stopped Taaffe from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Michael Taaffe slides to slot 106, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Lew left real value on the table behind him.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 22nd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Connor Lew
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Connor Lew. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick No. 77 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in the 106th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 116 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Moore
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Devin Moore in Round 4, Pick 23, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at pick 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Nothing to complain about; Matt Gulbin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
