Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureC
The Commanders robbed the room for Thornton Jr.. Final grade: B+. When a board-topper like Dont'e Thornton Jr. slides to pick No. 234, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Burch proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at No. 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at slot 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They let Aireontae Ersery come to them and pounced at pick 61. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 4, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A reach on Shemar Turner in the 117th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in pick No. 125, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 143rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jalen Milroe
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 150th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 170th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Somehow Jonah Monheim was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jabbar Muhammad
They will replay Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 174 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
The board had Dorian Strong higher than Round 6, Pick 12, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in pick 211 with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick234
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 234 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Theo Wease Jr. at the 238th overall pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick 250 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
