Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 207: the Commanders steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 29. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 61, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wilson at No. 97, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at the 127th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 140 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Steal is underselling it; Luke Kandra at the 149th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick235 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 235 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
The board fumbled Theo Wease Jr. all the way to Round 7, Pick 20, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in No. 250 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
