Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 174 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 205.

The Baron reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A conviction pick on Kyle Kennard at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 128th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 205 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 245 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
