Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureF
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Commanders a B-, Bowry and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Jude Bowry slide 73 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 12 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick71 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A quiet steal in the 71st overall pick: Eli Stowers for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They jumped the gun on Parker Brailsford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in slot 185 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 6, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jude Bowry
The board fumbled Jude Bowry all the way to pick 223, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
