Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Anthony Lucas, 48 picks early at the 51st pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They banked enough surplus on Burks to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Value said wait; Anthony Lucas in pick No. 51 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
They read the board right and Malik Muhammad was the payoff at the 75th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rod Moore at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Deion Burks
They robbed the room for Deion Burks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in pick 186 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
Somehow Tanner Koziol was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade in slot 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
