Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Mason Reiger. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Cameron at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 7 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton in the 71st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason Reiger
A wild overpay on Mason Reiger in slot 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
A quiet steal in the 185th overall pick: DJ Campbell for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
They read the board right and Josh Cameron was the payoff at pick No. 196. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in Round 7, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
