Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

The war room fell hard for Roman Hemby, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 45 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Landing Iheanachor that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 9th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick71 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 90 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Scott at pick 115 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 126th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They read the board right and Max Iheanachor was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 14. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick 185 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid a round early for De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 196, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roman Hemby this early at the 223rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
