Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureA
Larceny in slot 60 lands the Commanders a A-, Scott and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Justin Scott slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Dalton Kincaid gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Zabien Brown and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In No. 26 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Justin Scott
The board fumbled Justin Scott all the way to the 60th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sammy Brown
They let Sammy Brown come to them and pounced at pick No. 71. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Nick Marsh
They paid sticker price for Nick Marsh in the 91st overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in Round 5, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
Value with a capital V on Jake Guarnera in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jackson Bennee
Jackson Bennee at pick 196 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jay'Vion Cole
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jay'Vion Cole at slot 223 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
