Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Starks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Malaki Starks, the No. 26 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 61st pick.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 61 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 128th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
No edge and no loss on Donovan Edwards in No. 205; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
