Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
Grand theft in slot 205: the Commanders steal Tuten and grade out a B.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 158 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 29 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Downs proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at slot 40. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to No. 111, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dorian Strong in pick 128. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in the 133rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in Round 6, Pick 8, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 205 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They jumped the gun on Kitan Crawford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A tidy bit of business in slot 251, where Bilhal Kone graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at pick 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
