Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Skattebo: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at the 207th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Carroll has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Pat Surtain II pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in Round 1, Pick 29, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick No. 79, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at No. 207 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at the 238th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
A big swing on Quinn Carroll at the 250th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
