Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B to prove it.

Nobody had Eric O'Neill this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 46 spots to get him at pick 223. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Cisse pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 11 they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 CJ Allen
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with CJ Allen while clear needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
Taking Brandon Cisse in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Will Lee III
You do not let a cornerback like Will Lee III reach the 147th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Amare Thomas
Amare Thomas at slot 151 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They paid up for VJ Payne at the 189th pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at pick 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in Round 7, Pick 10 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
They barely believed it either: Eric McAlister still on the board at the 232nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
They paid sticker price for Noah Whittington in the 238th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
They robbed the room for Miles Kitselman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
