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

The Commanders bet big and early on Xavian Sorey Jr., 140 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
They did well to land Caleb Downs in slot 6, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at the 146th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They paid a round early for Le'Veon Moss in the 184th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeAndre Moore Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
