A mixed bag for the Commanders, and a C+ to match. The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 245 on Ethan Downs a full 39 spots early. The final tally is a middling C+.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
So much rides on Bradyn Swinson that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Bradyn Swinson
In No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
A reach for Kyle Kennard in the 61st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in pick 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in Round 6, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the 245th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
