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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Max Iheanachor slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Lucas proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 9th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
They reached into another round for Anthony Lucas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nic Anderson in slot 149. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Max Iheanachor
They robbed the room for Max Iheanachor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Drayk Bowen
Value with a capital V on Drayk Bowen in pick No. 223, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
