Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 43 picks early at No. 250. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to the 29th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They paid sticker price for Elijah Arroyo in the 79th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at No. 207 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They let LaJohntay Wester come to them and pounced at slot 238. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 250 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
