Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Stone: A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how David Stone got past him. The Commanders do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Byron Murphy Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey'Dez Green at Round 2, Pick 4 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 David Stone
David Stone in No. 64 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Emmanuel Oyebadejo
Emmanuel Oyebadejo in the 68th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Greg Johnson in pick 96, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
The board fumbled Ty Benefield all the way to pick No. 106, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
The board had Tony Rojas higher than slot 143, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige slid further than he should have, and the 183rd pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 AJ Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing AJ Green in the 225th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
