Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 230 lands the Commanders a C, Smith and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Smith, No. 230, roughly 130 picks past where he belonged.

They will need McClain to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Jaylen McClain and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jaylen McClain
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece, a steep price for the projection.
Pick41 Rnd2 Terrance Carter Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Terrance Carter Jr. in pick No. 41, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at Round 3, Pick 9 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
Circle this one: Jyaire Hill at the 111th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 148 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown in No. 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
