Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

The Commanders torched the value chart for Jah Joyner, taking him 103 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Thornton Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 29 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jah Joyner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jah Joyner in Round 2, Pick 29, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A tidy bit of business in the 79th overall pick, where Xavier Restrepo graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 207 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at pick No. 238 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They barely believed it either: Dont'e Thornton Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 32. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
