Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Martinez: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Damien Martinez had no business being available in No. 245, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Baron reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 43rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 61 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They read the board right and Andrew Mukuba was the payoff at No. 100. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Baron this early at pick 128. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in slot 205, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
