Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 29 lands the Commanders a B+, Emmanwori and all.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, in the 61st overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Adding Joe Alt by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jarquez Hunter for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 245th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
