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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Commanders reached some 25 spots for Trey Zuhn III, and value like that does not grow back.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Stowers pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 7 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 71 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A straight-up fair deal on Demond Claiborne at the 147th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A big swing on Jeff Caldwell at Round 6, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at slot 223. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
