Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Greg Johnson had no business being available in No. 106, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Clarke pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matayo Uiagalelei in slot 11. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Fair-plus on Charlie Becker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 David Stone
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Stone in pick 42, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock at the 68th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick No. 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
They will replay Greg Johnson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Samson Okunlola
Somehow Samson Okunlola was still sitting there in the 110th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at Round 4, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
The board fumbled Jaylen McClain all the way to Round 4, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 John Curry
John Curry slipping to pick No. 183 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Amare Thomas
Amare Thomas in slot 225 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
