Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders did not so much draft Da'Shawn Womack as overpay for him, 92 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They banked enough surplus on Biles to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. With tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 81st pick on Dillon Thieneman with tight end, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
They robbed the room for Tacario Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at slot 201 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Barion Brown
A conviction pick on Barion Brown at the 212th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Rasheem Biles
Circle this one: Rasheem Biles at pick No. 235 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
