Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Pierce fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Hollin Pierce, the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at the 148th overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Benjamin Morrison worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in the 79th overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce was still sitting there in the 148th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hayden Conner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They read the board right and Cam Horsley was the payoff at slot 238. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 250 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
