Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Grand theft in the 106th overall pick: the Commanders steal Lew and grade out a B.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Connor Lew fell into slot 106. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Brazzell II at No. 38. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
You do not let a cornerback like D'Angelo Ponds reach the 69th pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They will replay A.J. Haulcy at pick 71 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to the 106th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
Circle this one: Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 147 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley at slot 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeremiah Wright in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
