Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Commanders did exactly that with Collin Oliver in the 248th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Thornton Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to slot 34. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in No. 62. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They read the board right and Jordan Burch was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A tidy bit of business in the 105th pick, where Savion Williams graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 132nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Shemar James
A real head-scratcher, Shemar James in No. 206 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 219 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
