Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB
Grand theft in slot 208: the Commanders steal Martinez and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Damien Martinez had no business being available in the 208th overall pick, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Steal is underselling it; Emeka Egbuka at the 61st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in pick 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They paid sticker price for Dorian Strong in the 175th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 CJ West
They paid a round early for CJ West in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Somehow Damien Martinez was still sitting there in slot 208, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in No. 238, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They barely believed it either: Carson Vinson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 32. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
