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

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 157 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 247 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 29 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 79th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Noel went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxen Hook. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 247 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
