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

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Micah Morris, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Getting Trotter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
The board had Caleb Downs higher than slot 12, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at Round 3, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
Somehow D'Angelo Ponds was still sitting there in pick 125, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Malachi Lawrence
Nice patience on Malachi Lawrence, who had no business lasting to No. 145. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Oscar Delp at the Round 6 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Barion Brown
The board had cheaper options than Barion Brown at slot 194, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 199th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Good price on Colbie Young in Round 7, Pick 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Damari Brown
They let Damari Brown come to them and pounced at No. 257. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
