Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
B+

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Collin Oliver at pick No. 256 is 82 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Fitzgerald value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 36th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They read the board right and Trey Amos was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 29. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Value said wait; Jordan Burch in the 79th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
The board had Donovan Jackson higher than pick 95, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in No. 132 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at the 165th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 196 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the 216th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at Round 7, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick No. 250, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at pick 256, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
