Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 238 is 74 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Marks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 29 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 79 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at No. 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
