Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 115 lands the Commanders a B+, Johnson and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Greg Johnson tumbling to the Commanders in pick No. 115 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Braden Fiske pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The Coleman-Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
They liked Ryan Coleman-Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 45th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Chris Peal
Chris Peal in the 84th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
Circle this one: Ty Benefield at slot 105 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at pick No. 113 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Greg Johnson in Round 4, Pick 14, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at pick 141 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
By-the-book stuff, Braelin Moore at No. 182 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier in pick No. 184 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tao Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tao Johnson still on the board at the 224th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
