Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Commanders robbed the room for Helm. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Gunnar Helm tumbling to the Commanders in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. If Martin pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Good price on TreVeyon Henderson in the 61st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in Round 4, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in pick No. 207 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
The board fumbled Woody Marks all the way to the 238th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick 250 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
