Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Commanders to a B.

The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Commanders indulged a want in Stutsman while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in slot 36, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinyon Mitchell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They paid sticker price for Graham Barton in pick No. 100, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Danny Stutsman, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 8. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 153rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Steve Linton
They read the board right and Steve Linton was the payoff at pick No. 185. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in the 228th overall pick with a little surplus value in Zy Alexander. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
