Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
C+
ValueD
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Commanders, and a C+ to match. There is reaching, and then there is Joshua Josephs at pick 24. The Commanders jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
Hit on Joshua Josephs and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Joshua Josephs
In the 24th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick 88 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163
Rnd5
Nolan Rucci
They went early on Nolan Rucci in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
