Grand theft in pick 149: the Commanders steal Smith and grade out a C.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Brashard Smith, the No. 111 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If Ferguson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 72 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton slid further than he should have, and the 126th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at Round 6, Pick 14 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jay Higgins in slot 197, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyle Williams at No. 207 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Brown
They will replay Sam Brown at pick No. 250 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
