Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Commanders a B, Barton and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Lander Barton fell into No. 250. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Commanders indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in cornerback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 45 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in pick No. 72. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the 79th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in slot 97 leaves cornerback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick103 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 103 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at the 111th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick150 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 150th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 188th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 207 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 James Burnip
Steal is underselling it; James Burnip at pick No. 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick250 Rnd7 Lander Barton
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in pick 250, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at pick No. 254 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to No. 256, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in slot 257 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
