Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Commanders for Smith: B-.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Ainias Smith, the No. 175 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 228 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for Hall left real value on the table behind him. The Trotter Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, cornerback and other spots still on the board. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 4 with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 39 on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. with tight end, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick71 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They went early on Amarius Mims in pick No. 71, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 107th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabe Hall. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They jumped the gun on Miles Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at slot 228 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
