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

Somebody in pick No. 58 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback and quarterback went begging. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 61, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 102 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker at the 119th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A curious use of pick No. 127. Cornerback and quarterback needed the pick; a safety in Malachi Moore did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Value with a capital V on Logan Brown in No. 154, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at slot 207. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 238th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They liked Nick Martin enough to skip the value, taking him in the 250th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
