Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for David Walker, 111 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

On value alone, Taylor makes the weekend a net positive. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 David Walker
They reached into another round for David Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 79 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce 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.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to slot 207, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Steal is underselling it; Woody Marks at the 238th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 250th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
