Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
B-

FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders. The Commanders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 188 on Patrick Payton a full 48 spots early.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Downs. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick72
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jyaire Hill
They took Jyaire Hill at par in the 146th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at pick No. 184, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at pick 188, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
