V DRAFTING FOR THECommanders
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

The Commanders kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Commanders' one glaring miss is tight end, a need they left exactly as they found it.
The cost of the Simpkins III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lambert-Smith.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A conviction pick on Maxwell Hairston at slot 61 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brashard Smith. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 6, Pick 29. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 245th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
