Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent Round 7, Pick 29 on Ethan Downs, a name most had 39 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slid further than he should have, and pick 61 is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They paid sticker price for Cody Simon in pick No. 128, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They did well to land Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 205, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at Round 7, Pick 29 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
