Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Commanders a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Da'Shawn Womack at slot 223 is 86 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Mathews Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 29 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 71st pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
They paid sticker price for Mike Washington Jr. in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A premium they did not need to pay, Taylen Green a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
A slide stopped in pick No. 198, with CJ Daniels worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Mathews Jr. still on the board at pick No. 210. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A big swing on Da'Shawn Womack at slot 223, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
