Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Mondon Jr. from sliding. Grade: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Smael Mondon Jr. slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick No. 207. Highway robbery.

If Ezeiruaku pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In slot 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick 79 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 148th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to pick No. 207, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
A running back of that caliber at No. 238 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Taking Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
