Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Commanders a B, Lopa and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kingston Lopa fell into Round 4, Pick 30. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
A tidy little value on Jamari Johnson in pick No. 41, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Reed Harris
By-the-book stuff, Reed Harris at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at the 73rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They took Quincy Rhodes Jr. at par in the 83rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
Kingston Lopa at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Value with a capital V on Sammy Omosigho in pick 148, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ian Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ian Moore at slot 188 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
Bryce Hawthorne at slot 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
