Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Commanders took David Bailey at the 79th pick, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gordon II. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 61st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 David Bailey
They reached into another round for David Bailey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They paid up for Logan Brown at pick 148 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 207 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in No. 238 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester slipping to slot 250 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
