Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureD-
The Commanders land in the muddy middle: C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Commanders took David Walker a full 92 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Hancock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason Taylor in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at pick No. 79, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to slot 123, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 207 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 238th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
