Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureB
The Commanders landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody else had Josh Thompson anywhere near the 223rd pick. The Commanders did, by 94 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Isaiah Likely by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 9 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in slot 61 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A wild overpay on Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 3, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tacario Davis at pick No. 119, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 184th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick188 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen at the 188th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Thompson
Josh Thompson in the 223rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
