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

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to the 207th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Crenshaw-Dickson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Bond at slot 63, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They took Donovan Ezeiruaku at par in pick No. 66, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A tidy little value on Darien Porter in the 79th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the 207th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach No. 211 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 31: Teddye Buchanan for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They reached into another round for Gino Garcia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
