Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureA+
The Commanders turned the phones into found money: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Commanders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The cost of the Igbinosun reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in slot 55 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in No. 64 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 71st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
They paid sticker price for Charles Jagusah in the 196th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
