Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Logue reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

That Phillips pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 6th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in pick No. 36, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 3, Pick 3 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in pick 70; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 100 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
They did well to land DeWayne Carter in the 104th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andru Phillips at pick 181. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in the 223rd pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
