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

The war room fell hard for Ashton Gillotte, and it showed at pick 61: 35 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Brooks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 29 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They reached a country mile for Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 61, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid up for Mello Dotson at Round 4, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
A big swing on Fadil Diggs at slot 205, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks slipping to the 245th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
