Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Horton from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tory Horton got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 26.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They read the board right and Ozzy Trapilo was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 108th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in slot 128 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeffrey Bassa at pick 132 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slid further than he should have, and pick No. 205 is lovely value for the tight end. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at pick No. 245 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
