Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB+
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Bellamy: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Commanders were there to profit. Jayden Bellamy, the No. 188 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

They are betting Umanmielen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
By-the-book stuff, Nick Marsh at slot 36 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
They did well to land Jadan Baugh in Round 2, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kade Pieper reach the 68th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at No. 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Bear Alexander in the 88th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in pick 105 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 141 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Mathews Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
A clean, defensible pick in pick 189 with a little surplus value in Braelin Moore. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jayden Bellamy
Jayden Bellamy at the 224th pick 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.
