Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Tucker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Landing Bentley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese slipping to pick No. 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick23 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent slot 23 on Sonny Styles, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at Round 2, Pick 25. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 71st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nadame Tucker in the Round 5 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in No. 187 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A tidy little value on Eric McAlister in the 204th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. in pick 209 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
