Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Commanders a C+, Price and all.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Price.

If Fano pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick 7 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They barely believed it either: Jadarian Price still on the board at Round 3, Pick 16. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A reach on Davison Igbinosun in No. 145; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DeMonte Capehart at the 152nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A premium they did not need to pay, VJ Payne a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick No. 196 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick223 Rnd7 Logan Fano
Logan Fano at the 223rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Good price on Jeff Caldwell in pick 226, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
