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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dominic Zvada, 79 picks early at the 223rd pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Anderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick71 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to pick 71, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid up for Logan Jones at No. 112 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They liked Davison Igbinosun enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 145. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Good price on Xavier Nwankpa in the 185th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at the 196th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dominic Zvada well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
