Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A-

FutureB
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The Stribling pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wagner. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Avieon Terrell and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In the 20th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 31 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slipping to pick 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at No. 112 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at slot 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick145
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
They took Beau Stephens at par in the 145th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick185
Rnd6
Aamil Wagner
The board fumbled Aamil Wagner all the way to pick No. 185, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
Circle this one: DJ Campbell at No. 196 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210
Rnd6
Dallen Bentley
They let Dallen Bentley come to them and pounced at the 210th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott is a better player than pick 223 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
A big swing on De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 235, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
