Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
McClain should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylen McClain slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at No. 145. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Rappleyea pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In slot 7 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nick Marsh
No drama and no debate, Nick Marsh went about where he belonged in No. 71. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylen McClain
Circle this one: Jaylen McClain at the 145th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earnest Greene III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
A reach for Andrew Rappleyea in Round 6, Pick 17; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
Nothing to complain about; Christian Alliegro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
