Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Shemar Turner, 23 picks early at the Round 2 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Getting Kone where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
A straight-up fair deal on Nic Scourton at the 29th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 61 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid sticker price for Mello Dotson in No. 128, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at the 205th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
