Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The phones sank the Commanders this weekend: D+.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Sturdivant lower, and that gap is the story. However the rest shakes out, Tollison at that price is a win they earned.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 5 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cashius Howell
They paid sticker price for Cashius Howell in No. 88, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 4 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison is a better player than Round 5, Pick 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
The board had cheaper options than J.Michael Sturdivant at pick 183, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Alex Birchmeier
A straight-up fair deal on Alex Birchmeier at slot 202, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
A slide stopped in the 237th overall pick, with Shamar Porter worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
