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. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

That Turner pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If Stover pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

Bottom line, with Taliese Fuaga leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
