Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Malik Muhammad, 23 picks ahead of schedule.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The World pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Downs in Round 1, Pick 7. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A real head-scratcher, Malik Muhammad in pick 71 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World slipping to pick No. 147 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
The board had cheaper options than Pat Coogan at slot 187, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zxavian Harris in the 198th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nothing to complain about; Jeff Caldwell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
