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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Commanders did exactly that with Vincent Anthony Jr. in the 145th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Hurst falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
They paid sticker price for Keldric Faulk in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at No. 71 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ted Hurst in pick No. 187. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Lander Barton
No drama and no debate, Lander Barton went about where he belonged in the 198th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in Round 7, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
