Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

Nobody had Troy Bowles this high, and it is not close. The Commanders reached 107 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 7. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Caleb Downs that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 7 they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ian Strong at the 71st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Boubacar Traore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Boubacar Traore in Round 3, Pick 23, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at pick 146 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Josh Moten
No edge and no loss on Josh Moten in pick No. 187; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nolan Rucci well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
A wild overpay on Troy Bowles in Round 7, Pick 7, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
