Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 3 slot on Max Llewellyn a full 67 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Canady makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick74 Rnd3 Max Llewellyn
They left a pile of value on the table to take Max Llewellyn this early at pick No. 74. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Stephens at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They paid a round early for Pat Coogan in pick 185, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at slot 196 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady in No. 223 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
