Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-.

The Commanders did not so much draft Ethan Downs as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Mbow value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 29 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow slipping to Round 2, Pick 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at pick 205 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
They reached into another round for Ethan Downs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
