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

Somebody took the Commanders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Tuten pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in the Round 1 slot, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in pick 61, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 66th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They did well to land Tai Felton in No. 104, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to pick No. 179, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They let Jack Nelson come to them and pounced at slot 192. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They went early on Jaylin Smith in No. 245, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James slipping to the 255th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
