Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in No. 68 lands the Commanders a A, Stone and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how David Stone got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at No. 68.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Biles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They are betting Coleman-Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Cole
The board had Chris Cole higher than the 36th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
They liked Ryan Coleman-Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 56. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at Round 2, Pick 30 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 David Stone
The board fumbled David Stone all the way to slot 68, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Rasheem Biles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Rasheem Biles while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick94 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague at No. 106 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
They will replay Earl Little Jr. at the 143rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jayden Virgin-Morgan went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 4. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at No. 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
