Overall B-

ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-

A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

Nobody had De'Zhaun Stribling this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 21 spots to get him at the 185th pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs

Caleb Downs at pick No. 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.

Pick71 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas

A real head-scratcher, Anthony Lucas in the 71st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.

Pick145 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol

No drama and no debate, Tanner Koziol went about where he belonged in pick 145. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick185 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling

De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III

Trey Zuhn III at the 196th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
