Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at pick No. 205, a reach of 78 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Trapilo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 29th overall pick they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at No. 105 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the 128th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Shemar James
They will replay Shemar James at pick 245 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
