Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Stout: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Upton Stout at pick No. 238 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Every board in the league had Tuten lower, and that gap is the story. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 66th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in Round 3, Pick 21 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in pick 121 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 132 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Circle this one: Quincy Riley at the 193rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Steal is underselling it; Jack Nelson at No. 207 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in slot 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 250th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
