Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Caldwell: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jeff Caldwell tumbling to the Commanders in Round 6, Pick 28 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 7th overall pick they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Fair-plus on Charles Demmings, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 187 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board fumbled Jeff Caldwell all the way to Round 6, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in slot 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg at the 231st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
