Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders bet big and early on Dont'e Thornton Jr., 45 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Cornelius falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 61 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in the 205th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Somehow Jermari Harris was still sitting there in pick No. 236, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
