Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 68 lands the Commanders a B+, Stone and all.

Call it larceny. David Stone sat on the board until the 68th overall pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Nothing to complain about; Charlie Becker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Steal is underselling it; Trey'Dez Green at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 David Stone
David Stone in the 68th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in slot 86, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
A slide stopped in pick 106, with Jyaire Hill worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Koi Perich in the 161st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick173 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Paige at pick No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Amare Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Amare Thomas in pick 215. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dezz Ricks
The board fumbled Dezz Ricks all the way to No. 225, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in Round 7, Pick 20 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
