Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Roberts: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Chase Roberts had no business being available in slot 185, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Elliott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 71, where Eli Stowers graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at slot 145 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chase Roberts
You do not let a wide receiver like Chase Roberts reach pick 185 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
A real head-scratcher, Keyshaun Elliott in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Good price on TJ Hall in the 223rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
