Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB+
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 29 lands the Commanders a B, Martinez and all.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Damien Martinez, the No. 156 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Will Johnson
They read the board right and Will Johnson was the payoff at the 33rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in the 94th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at slot 128 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
No drama and no debate, Bhayshul Tuten went about where he belonged in pick No. 150. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Somehow Damien Martinez was still sitting there in pick 205, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
