Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did enough to get by: C-.

The Commanders did not so much draft Stone Handy as overpay for him, 302 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

Landing Gillotte that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinn Carroll
In No. 29 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Stone Handy
A big swing on Stone Handy at the 61st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They will replay Tai Felton at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ashton Gillotte
Taking Ashton Gillotte in pick 245 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
