Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Commanders spent the Round 3 slot on Que Robinson, a name the board had a full 173 spots lower.

Gordon II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to the Round 1 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Que Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Que Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jayden Higgins in pick No. 79. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in the 105th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
They robbed the room for Ozzy Trapilo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Circle this one: O'Donnell Fortune at the 148th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 171 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 207th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at slot 229 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They jumped the gun on Nick Martin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
