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

The Commanders torched the value chart for Garrett Dellinger, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Higgins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 29 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marcus Mbow in the 61st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in No. 79, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Longerbeam. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A conviction pick on Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 20 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
