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

There is reaching, and then there is Barryn Sorrell at the 207th pick. The Commanders jumped the board by 105 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 29th pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
A real head-scratcher, Ozzy Trapilo in No. 61 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Fairchild this early at slot 79. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick No. 238, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in pick 250 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
