Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Princewill Umanmielen, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Bowry pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
They paid sticker price for Keldric Faulk in No. 8, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
They talked themselves into Anthony Lucas at slot 72, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A quiet steal in pick 185: Aaron Anderson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
They paid up for Rasheem Biles at the 196th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick222 Rnd7 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen in the 222nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
