Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Martinez should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Damien Martinez at pick 207 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Hairston reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 61 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Marcus Mbow in pick No. 79, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the 207th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West at Round 7, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Shemar James
The board fumbled Shemar James all the way to slot 250, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
