Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a D-.

The Commanders torched the value chart for Trey Moore, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Rivers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 6 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the 45th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Suntarine Perkins
They reached a country mile for Suntarine Perkins at slot 71, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Somehow Chandler Rivers was still sitting there in pick No. 107, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They went early on Blake Miller in pick 111, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid up for Jacob Rodriguez at slot 140 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
A tidy little value on Nic Anderson in No. 146, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore in pick No. 148 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Good price on Bud Clark in Round 6, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick210 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Harvey in the 210th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
