Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

The war room fell hard for Logan Fano, and it showed at No. 187: 70 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Hill Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
The board had Anthony Hill Jr. higher than pick 53, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
A real head-scratcher, Jaishawn Barham in the 71st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Markel Bell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Markel Bell this early at pick No. 85. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They paid up for Parker Brailsford at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in No. 178 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Logan Fano
Logan Fano at pick 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Toriano Pride Jr. at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in slot 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
