Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-. Nobody else had Ethan Downs anywhere near No. 104. The Commanders did, by 161 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The Reed value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61
Rnd2
Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to the 127th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick No. 207 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at slot 238 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Steal is underselling it; Carson Vinson at the 250th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
