Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Commanders let Reese fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Foster lower, and that gap is the story. It is not that Styles is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick40 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 40 on Sonny Styles with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick71 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slipping to Round 3, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 109. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in No. 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis in pick 154 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Bud Clark
No drama and no debate, Bud Clark went about where he belonged in the 176th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at pick 185, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Good price on Tristan Leigh in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 223 with a little surplus value in J. Michael Sturdivant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
