Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
Larceny in slot 245 lands the Commanders a B, Woodson and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Craig Woodson got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at pick 245. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They took Tai Felton at par in the 92nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 128 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in No. 174 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarquez Hunter in pick 205. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at Round 7, Pick 29 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 247 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
