Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Nobody else had Stone Handy anywhere near Round 7, Pick 32. The Commanders did, by 94 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Tuten makes the weekend a net positive. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 29 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 61 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at the 79th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They did well to land Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 238, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Stone Handy
Stone Handy in slot 250 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
