Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Hughes. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Makhi Hughes slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at the 88th overall pick. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Steal is underselling it; Chase Roberts at Round 5, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 James Smith
Value with a capital V on James Smith in the 202nd overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Ethan O'Connor at No. 237 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
