Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Thor Griffith at the 238th pick, roughly 72 spots before his name belonged.
Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 39th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A slide stopped in No. 61, with Aireontae Ersery worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 72 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick 94 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They robbed the room for Emery Jones Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at slot 165. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at the 235th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 242 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256
Rnd7
Woody Marks
You do not let a running back like Woody Marks reach pick 256 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
