FutureA
The Commanders let Stone fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: David Stone, the 60th pick, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
If Umanmielen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Ryan Coleman-Williams
Ryan Coleman-Williams at Round 2, Pick 6 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Princewill Umanmielen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Princewill Umanmielen in pick 41, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
David Stone
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Stone in the 60th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. slipping to slot 79 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaylen McClain
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 110 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145
Rnd5
Kayin Lee
They took Kayin Lee at par in No. 145, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Lawson Luckie
They liked Lawson Luckie enough to skip the value, taking him in the 148th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Braelin Moore
The board had Braelin Moore higher than Round 6, Pick 9, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Bryce Hawthorne
They let Bryce Hawthorne come to them and pounced at the 247th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
