Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders bled value on every deal, hence the D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Malachi Lawrence at the Round 3 slot, roughly 60 spots before his name belonged. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They banked enough surplus on Stowers to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They read the board right and Eli Stowers was the payoff at pick No. 71. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
Good price on Billy Schrauth in the 139th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
They liked Treydan Stukes enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 7. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in No. 185 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in pick 223 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
