Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders let Chambliss fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Chambliss that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The cost of the Benny reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 8th pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and A.J. Harris at pick 71 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
By-the-book stuff, Whit Weeks at pick No. 93 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at No. 128 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price slipping to Round 5, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in slot 188 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at Round 6, Pick 16 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Taking Trinidad Chambliss in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
