Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Benefield: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The Benefield value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding James Pearce Jr. by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In slot 15 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 David Stone
David Stone in the 36th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Chris Cole slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They barely believed it either: Kade Pieper still on the board at the 68th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Samson Okunlola
A quiet steal in pick No. 106: Samson Okunlola for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
They robbed the room for Ty Benefield here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Jackson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
Taking Earl Little Jr. in pick No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick183 Rnd6 Hollywood Smothers
No drama and no debate, Hollywood Smothers went about where he belonged in pick 183. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eric Singleton Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Eric Singleton Jr. worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
