FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Martinez: B+. The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Damien Martinez fell into pick No. 241.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Hancock reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 39th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 76th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 79 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A tidy bit of business in No. 130, where Jordan Phillips graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 6, Pick 8 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Theo Wease Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Woody Marks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Woody Marks in slot 231, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
Steal is underselling it; Damien Martinez at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
By-the-book stuff, Cody Lindenberg at Round 7, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jacob Parrish
Somehow Jacob Parrish was still sitting there in pick 250, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the 256th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
