Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Greg Johnson, the No. 42 name on the board, in pick No. 110. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
They barely believed it either: Trey'Dez Green still on the board at pick No. 41. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deuce Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deuce Alexander in slot 73. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Greg Johnson in Round 4, Pick 9, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sammy Omosigho at No. 148 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maraad Watson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
