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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named tight end, a need the Commanders walked right past.

The Prysock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Igbinosun lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in slot 71 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson at pick 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
They liked J'Mari Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in No. 223 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
