Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-.

The war room fell hard for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and it showed at No. 79: 162 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Thornton Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 29 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 148th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at Round 6, Pick 29, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They will replay Kyle Monangai at pick No. 250 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
