Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureC-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Taylor: B+. When a board-topper like Roc Taylor slides to the 250th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 35th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A slide stopped in slot 39, with Jalon Walker worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 49th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at No. 94 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207
Rnd6
Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick 207 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick 238 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at Round 7, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
