Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Commanders this weekend: B+.

The Commanders bet big and early on Davison Igbinosun, 84 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Landing Thompson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
They reached a country mile for Davison Igbinosun at Round 3, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
The board had Zakee Wheatley higher than pick No. 91, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Good price on DeMonte Capehart in the 145th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dae'Quan Wright in the 185th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson in slot 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Foster. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
