Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Commanders.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Derrick Moore, 42 picks early at slot 63. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Robert Spillane pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derrick Moore well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 71 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They did well to land Michael Trigg in No. 125, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
They went early on Treydan Stukes in Round 5, Pick 7, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick No. 185 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Peyton Bowen. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the 223rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
