Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B to prove it.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Barryn Sorrell, 74 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That Collins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Good price on TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach slot 85 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 121, with Smael Mondon Jr. worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 199th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They robbed the room for Woody Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in slot 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A reach on Nick Martin in pick No. 250; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
