Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Marshall Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 202 name on the board, in No. 245. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Every board in the league had Thornton Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A slide stopped in No. 61, with JT Tuimoloau worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Reed at the 205th overall pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
No edge and no loss on Kyle Monangai in pick 211; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Jason Marshall Jr. reach pick No. 245 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A premium they did not need to pay, Torricelli Simpkins III a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
