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

Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick 61. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If Baron pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 61st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They reached a country mile for Tyler Baron at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
A reach for Robert Longerbeam in No. 205; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
