Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders let Montgomery fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Luke Montgomery, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at the 161st overall pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Denzel Ward deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In pick 14 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Cole
Chris Cole in the 26th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick36 Rnd2 David Stone
They robbed the room for David Stone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Damon Wilson II
Damon Wilson II at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Taking Kade Pieper in the 68th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Lance Heard
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 4, with Lance Heard worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at pick No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in No. 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sahir West
The board fumbled Sahir West all the way to slot 183, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Hollywood Smothers
You do not let a running back like Hollywood Smothers reach the 205th overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Lawson Luckie for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
