Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Borregales: B-.

Somebody in slot 238 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Andres Borregales, the No. 157 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Cooper reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach the 79th pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
A big swing on Tyler Cooper at pick 148, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 207, where Kyle Monangai graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in the 250th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
