Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Lundt should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chase Lundt, the No. 164 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 29. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 29 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Ezeiruaku. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in No. 128, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 6, Pick 29 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They barely believed it either: Jermari Harris still on the board at pick 245. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
