Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Nohl Williams; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 41 spots ahead at pick 238. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Marks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
They paid sticker price for Nic Scourton in pick No. 29, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A premium they did not need to pay, Jayden Higgins a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in slot 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Simon at Round 5, Pick 9. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick207 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Woody Marks at the 207th pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester is a better player than pick No. 250 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
