DKDan DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Commanders reached some 68 spots for Eric Gregory, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The Knight Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 79 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick207
Rnd6
Eric Gregory
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gregory well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach the 238th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 250th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
