Draft Grade — Commanders

ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 205.

Reaching for Vann left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 29th pick they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A slide stopped in No. 61, with Trey Amos worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and pick No. 128 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 29 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Davin Vann
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in pick 245, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
