Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
Not the weekend the Commanders were hoping for: D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Shamar Easter at Round 2, Pick 6, roughly 261 spots before his name belonged.

On value alone, Raridon makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jude Bowry
In the 28th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Shamar Easter
A real head-scratcher, Shamar Easter in pick 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Fields at the 71st pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Keaten Wade
They reached a country mile for Keaten Wade at Round 5, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kyle Louis
Taking Kyle Louis in slot 185 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eli Raridon
They will replay Eli Raridon at pick No. 196 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brent Austin
Brent Austin in pick No. 223 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
