Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders let Thornton Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 20. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Value said wait; Jordan Burch in slot 74 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at the 79th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 102 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at pick 119 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach No. 157 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in Round 5, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at the 207th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 209 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nohl Williams this early at No. 250. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. It fills a real need, too.
