Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Kyren Lacy at slot 245 will need to, sitting 46 spots clear of his grade.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Trey Hendrickson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 29 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A clean, defensible pick in pick 128 with a little surplus value in Dorian Strong. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
No drama and no debate, Donovan Edwards went about where he belonged in the 205th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
