Jaydin DRAFTING FOR THECommanders
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Ethan Downs; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 41 spots ahead at No. 245. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick61
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quinshon Judkins. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
No drama and no debate, Rylie Mills went about where he belonged in pick No. 128. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A tidy little value on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 205th pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at slot 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
