Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Masses fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Hezekiah Masses sat on the board until pick No. 187, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Lew has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 7th overall pick they get a lead back with juice at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Connor Lew
The board had cheaper options than Connor Lew at No. 71, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malik Benson
They paid sticker price for Malik Benson in slot 147, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Hezekiah Masses
They robbed the room for Hezekiah Masses here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
No drama and no debate, Jadon Canady went about where he belonged in the 216th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at pick No. 223 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Circle this one: Jeff Caldwell at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
