Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Commanders bet big and early on Nyck Harbor, 23 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in pick No. 68 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
Good price on Jyaire Hill in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in the 186th overall pick, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 191 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeAndre Moore Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
