Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Commanders, and a B to prove it.

The Dont'e Thornton Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 37 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones Jr..

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick No. 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 61 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A clean, defensible pick in the 88th overall pick with a little surplus value in Andrew Mukuba. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 128 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at the 140th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 146 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Value said wait; Desmond Watson in the 205th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid sticker price for Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
