Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureA
Good, not great, for the Commanders: B-.

The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 223 on Da'Shawn Womack a full 87 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Downs at that price is a win they earned. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 12th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Good price on Colton Hood in No. 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 Taylen Green
No edge and no loss on Taylen Green in the 184th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They paid a round early for Le'Veon Moss in pick 188, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Da'Shawn Womack well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
