Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Commanders.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took Thor Griffith at the 256th overall pick, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The veteran additions, Tee Higgins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 61 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Taking Jayden Higgins in slot 95 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 165th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They robbed the room for Woody Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
They talked themselves into Nohl Williams at pick 250, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
