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

Somebody in the 250th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 185 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to the 61st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 79, where Quinshon Judkins graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach pick 148 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at slot 207 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in No. 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 250th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
