Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Commanders won the night they stopped Thornton Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. fell into pick No. 245.

Dumas-Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
No drama and no debate, Princely Umanmielen went about where he belonged in No. 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 61 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slipping to the 128th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 245th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
