Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Marks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Woody Marks, the No. 184 name on the board, in the 238th pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 29th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 61 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 79 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the 148th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick No. 207 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
Taking LaJohntay Wester in No. 250 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
