Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 248: the Commanders steal Marks and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Woody Marks tumbling to the Commanders in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Stutsman pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, edge rusher and other spots. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in No. 45, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
You do not let a wide receiver like Jayden Higgins reach the 94th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Danny Stutsman while clear needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at pick No. 136. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in the 151st overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at slot 184 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Hancock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They will replay Carson Vinson at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at pick 248 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
