Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Some picks age like wine; Stone Handy at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 112 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick61 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
They paid a round early for Quinshon Judkins in slot 61, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 207. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Stone Handy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Stone Handy in the 250th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
