Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Davison Igbinosun, 74 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 2, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick No. 50 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in slot 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 71 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They paid up for Malachi Lawrence at the 121st pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Treydan Stukes in No. 128, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Coleman Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 145. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in pick 196, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
No edge and no loss on Keyron Crawford in No. 223; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
