Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders let Smothers fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Hollywood Smothers had no business being available in the 198th overall pick, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding Rashan Gary by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, with Charlie Becker leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Steal is underselling it; Trey'Dez Green at the 41st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan Ross
Jordan Ross in pick 73 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in Round 4, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
You do not let a safety like Earl Little Jr. reach slot 148 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore at No. 188 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Hollywood Smothers
Taking Hollywood Smothers in the 198th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
No edge and no loss on Smith Snowden in pick No. 227; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Bellamy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
