Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Boye Mafe by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
