Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 50 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Ransom falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A conviction pick on Maxwell Hairston at slot 62 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 132 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 5, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at No. 205 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick 245. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
