Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
Larceny in pick No. 96 lands the Commanders a B, Price and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Jadarian Price slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In No. 32 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 55 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in the 96th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah World
A quiet steal in pick No. 147: Isaiah World for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on VJ Payne. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ephesians Prysock in pick 198. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They paid a round early for Zxavian Harris in the 204th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
A clean, defensible pick in pick 223 with a little surplus value in Jeff Caldwell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
