Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Omarion Hampton, the No. 32 name on the board, in pick 61.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 61 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at No. 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the 205th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Shemar James
They let Shemar James come to them and pounced at slot 236. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester slid further than he should have, and pick 248 is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
