Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Marshall Jr.: B-.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 182 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They are betting Burch proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nic Scourton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach for Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 61st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 79th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at slot 238. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
They will replay Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 250 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
