Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The war room fell hard for Caden Curry, and it showed at pick 71: 53 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. However the rest shakes out, Anderson at that price is a win they earned. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at slot 82 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 CJ Daniels
They talked themselves into CJ Daniels at No. 97, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Fair-plus on Jaeden Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aaron Anderson at pick No. 187 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
They liked Trebor Pena enough to skip the value, taking him in the 218th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 223 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
