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

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Reaching for Beebe left real value on the table behind him. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Kinchens at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 8 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Fautanu in the 34th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They took Chop Robinson at par in slot 36, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Nothing to complain about; Bralen Trice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in Round 2, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A wild overpay on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 47, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 67th pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves wide receiver, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at No. 141 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in pick No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at slot 223, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
