Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keaten Wade; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 61 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reese.

In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick72 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Malik Muhammad in the 72nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Nwankpa. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in Round 5, Pick 16 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick No. 185 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Hall in pick 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 7, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in No. 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the 253rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
