Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Haulcy from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched A.J. Haulcy slide 23 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

With tight end, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 13 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick71 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at No. 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Malik Benson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at pick 185 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in slot 196, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
A clean, defensible pick in the 223rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Zxavian Harris. The roster fit checks out.
