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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jordan Hancock got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 250. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Good price on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
They took Chimere Dike at par in the 207th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They barely believed it either: Carson Vinson still on the board at slot 238. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 250 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
