Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Commanders bet big and early on Vincent Anthony Jr., 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That Clark pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle, though they paid up to get him.
Pick68 Rnd3 Max Klare
A straight-up fair deal on Max Klare at pick 68, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Value said wait; Vincent Anthony Jr. in Round 5, Pick 7 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
The board had Aaron Anderson higher than slot 186, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Campbell in pick No. 191. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bud Clark
Bud Clark slid further than he should have, and the 220th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
