Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 223: the Commanders steal Chambliss and grade out a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Trinidad Chambliss slide 41 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The cost of the Iheanachor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Tyrel Dodson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 11th pick they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good price on Sonny Styles in slot 44, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at the 59th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Klare
A clean, defensible pick in pick 74 with a little surplus value in Max Klare. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 7, where Jadarian Price graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reach for Max Iheanachor in No. 151; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
Somehow Isaac Smith was still sitting there in pick No. 188, and they pounced on premier safety value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
