Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Princewill Umanmielen at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 46 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will answer for taking safety early while running back and interior defensive lineman went begging.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Allen makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 7th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57
Rnd2
CJ Allen
Somehow CJ Allen was still sitting there in slot 57, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They zigged when the board said zag, taking A.J. Haulcy at safety with running back and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick72
Rnd3
Max Klare
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Max Klare graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
They read the board right and Chandler Rivers was the payoff at the 102nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
A slide stopped in pick No. 117, with D'Angelo Ponds worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Good price on Trinidad Chambliss in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts slipping to the 135th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
The board had CJ Daniels higher than the 149th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 31: Aaron Anderson for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell slid further than he should have, and No. 176 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in slot 181 is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick184
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Princewill Umanmielen well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Eric O'Neill
A real head-scratcher, Eric O'Neill in No. 186 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in the 188th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Thaddeus Dixon at the 197th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A reasonable price with a little left over, Barion Brown in slot 219. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jalil Farooq
They talked themselves into Jalil Farooq at pick 239, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241
Rnd7
PJ Williams
A tidy little value on PJ Williams in Round 7, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
