Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders did not so much draft Pat Coogan as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Commanders indulged a want in Styles while a need in tight end, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

Getting Anderson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at slot 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Sonny Styles in pick 46 leaves tight end, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick68 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the 68th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
No drama and no debate, Malik Muhammad went about where he belonged in the 77th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
A tidy bit of business in No. 112, where Adon Shuler graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 147 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at No. 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Nice patience on Aaron Anderson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 191. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Desmond Reid well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
