Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders put a flag in the ground for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 57 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 29th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 29 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
They took Caleb Rogers at par in No. 205, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 245th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
