Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Marks. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Woody Marks slide 57 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Skattebo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 61st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 79th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 6, Pick 29 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A reach on Nick Martin in No. 250; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
