Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Commanders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They will need Brown to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick37 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christen Miller at Round 2, Pick 5 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than the 61st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Max Klare
By-the-book stuff, Max Klare at pick No. 72 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at the 146th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Taylor in No. 184. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at slot 188 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Barion Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barion Brown in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid a round early for De'Zhaun Stribling in the 233rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
