Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Hampton: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Omarion Hampton got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 61. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Good price on Dorian Strong in pick 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
The board fumbled Jack Nelson all the way to the 205th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
