Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Commanders were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. If Brown pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Getting Styles where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in the 73rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
No edge and no loss on Chase Roberts in pick No. 147; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in the 152nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Taylen Green
By-the-book stuff, Taylen Green at pick 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They let Aamil Wagner come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A real head-scratcher, Barion Brown in No. 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at the 225th pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
