Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Barryn Sorrell selection is the head-turner. The Commanders reached 74 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 61 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 79th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A big swing on Clay Webb at pick 207, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at Round 7, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They paid up for Nick Martin at the 250th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
