Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Cisse: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Brandon Cisse at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 7th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in pick No. 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at No. 183 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nadame Tucker
Steal is underselling it; Nadame Tucker at pick 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
Taking Eric McAlister in slot 223 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
