Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Scott should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Commanders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Scott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every board in the league had Zuhn III lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Round 1, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A quiet steal in the 47th overall pick: Emmanuel Pregnon for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick No. 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Circle this one: Keionte Scott at No. 91 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in slot 111 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Nice patience on Malik Benson, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 7. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Jalen Stroman worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick198 Rnd6 David Gusta
No drama and no debate, David Gusta went about where he belonged in pick 198. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 223, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
The board fumbled Kaelon Black all the way to the 230th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
