Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Stone: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: David Stone, the No. 18 name on the board, stolen at pick 68. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Watson left real value on the table behind him. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In pick 4 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
No drama and no debate, Nick Marsh went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 David Stone
Steal is underselling it; David Stone at No. 68 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 10, with Jaylen McClain worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas slid further than he should have, and the 143rd overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick158 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
A reach on Elijah Paige in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
By-the-book stuff, Braelin Moore at slot 183 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Maraad Watson
A real head-scratcher, Maraad Watson in pick No. 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
