Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Commanders clearly saw something nobody else did in Gabe Jacas, taking him 120 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Getting Reed where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in pick 59, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 85th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Gabe Jacas
Value said wait; Gabe Jacas in No. 156 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Addison West
They reached a country mile for Addison West at pick No. 160, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in Round 7, Pick 19 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A safety of that caliber at the 247th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White at pick No. 248 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
