FutureA
The Commanders let Stone fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and David Stone fell into slot 73.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Trey'Dez Green
In slot 27 they get a seam-stretching tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Zabien Brown
They paid sticker price for Zabien Brown in the 41st pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60
Rnd2
Reed Harris
Reed Harris in pick 60 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
David Stone
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like David Stone reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
They barely believed it either: Sam Leavitt still on the board at Round 4, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Shadre Hurst
They took Shadre Hurst at par in pick No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149
Rnd5
Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. in the 149th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188
Rnd6
Braelin Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelin Moore in No. 188. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Griffin Wilde
The board had Griffin Wilde higher than the Round 7 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
John Curry
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 230 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
