Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Commanders.

There is reaching, and then there is Anthony Boswell at No. 105. The Commanders jumped the board by 32 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 4th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Marsh. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
They paid sticker price for Devan Thompkins in Round 3, Pick 4, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Anthony Boswell
Value said wait; Anthony Boswell in slot 105 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at pick No. 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
