Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Commanders robbed the room for Trapilo. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ozzy Trapilo, the No. 85 name on the board, stolen at slot 157.

The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 29 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick100 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to No. 100, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 11. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than slot 118, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
They robbed the room for Ozzy Trapilo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They paid sticker price for Cody Lindenberg in the 248th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
