Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Cisse should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Brandon Cisse had no business being available in pick 147, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 7 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
Pick71 Rnd3 Caleb Downs
The board fumbled Caleb Downs all the way to Round 3, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brandon Cisse
They barely believed it either: Brandon Cisse still on the board at the 147th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at pick 187 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Steal is underselling it; Aaron Anderson at the 209th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Aamil Wagner
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aamil Wagner reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
