Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Bennee from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Jackson Bennee, the No. 171 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 223.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They are betting Stewart proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the 7th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all.
Pick71 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in No. 71 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in pick No. 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
Niki Prongos in slot 185 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
They took Christian Alliegro at par in the 196th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jackson Bennee
They barely believed it either: Jackson Bennee still on the board at Round 7, Pick 7. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
