Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Commanders a B, Thompkins and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devan Thompkins slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at pick 111. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Prongos lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In pick No. 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
Good price on Nick Marsh in Round 2, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at the 73rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Devan Thompkins
Circle this one: Devan Thompkins at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
The board had Tony Rojas higher than No. 148, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore at pick 188 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
They liked Niki Prongos enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 230. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
