You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Commanders spent the 71st overall pick on Josiah Trotter while cornerback, edge rusher and other spots sat unaddressed. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Cameron to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Henry Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
