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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bear Alexander, the No. 67 name on the board, stolen at the 110th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Grant Delpit deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Cole
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Cole in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in slot 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kade Pieper reach pick No. 82 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 110th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
They robbed the room for Jyaire Hill here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown at pick 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore slipping to Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
Bryce Hawthorne at the 230th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
