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

You build a draft on nights like this. Ty Benefield had no business being available in slot 106, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In pick 4 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 David Stone
They will replay David Stone at the 36th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ryan Coleman-Williams
They paid sticker price for Ryan Coleman-Williams in Round 3, Pick 4, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield at slot 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
They took DJ McKinney at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
By-the-book stuff, Braelin Moore at No. 183 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Edwin Spillman
A tidy little value on Edwin Spillman in pick No. 225, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
