Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Green should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a C+.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Cayden Green, the No. 9 name on the board, sitting there at pick 225 like a gift left on the doorstep. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They are betting Brown proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

So much rides on Will Echoles that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 4th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Raleek Brown
A real head-scratcher, Raleek Brown in pick No. 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Reed Harris
Reed Harris in the 106th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Brice Pollock
They barely believed it either: Brice Pollock still on the board at No. 143. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ty Benefield
They will replay Ty Benefield at pick 183 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at slot 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
