Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Dike from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Chimere Dike had no business being available in the 250th overall pick, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 29, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick61 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nice patience on Marcus Mbow, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 79th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 207 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
No edge and no loss on Torricelli Simpkins III in the 238th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They barely believed it either: Chimere Dike still on the board at Round 7, Pick 32. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
