Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Barryn Sorrell. He came off 102 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Dike that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick78 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid a round early for Cam Skattebo in the 85th pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at the 210th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at Round 7, Pick 20 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A reach on Nick Martin in the 250th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
