Draft Grade — Commanders

Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Commanders a B, Smith and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brashard Smith fell into the 245th pick.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 29 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Somehow Benjamin Morrison was still sitting there in the 61st pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at pick 128 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to No. 205, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach Round 7, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
