The Commanders won the night they stopped Price from sliding. Grade: B. When a board-topper like Jadarian Price slides to slot 92, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the 20th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick71
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadarian Price in pick No. 92, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hezekiah Masses
A tidy bit of business in No. 147, where Hezekiah Masses graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the 168th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
A tidy little value on Keagen Trost in pick 189, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209
Rnd6
VJ Payne
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with VJ Payne worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Toriano Pride Jr.
They paid sticker price for Toriano Pride Jr. in Round 7, Pick 4, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at the 223rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226
Rnd7
Dallen Bentley
A tight end of that caliber at No. 226 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
