Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
Cooper Jr. should have been long gone. The Commanders pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Omar Cooper Jr. slide, and the Commanders were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 17. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Zuhn III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In slot 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They robbed the room for Omar Cooper Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at the 100th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A conviction pick on Bryce Lance at pick No. 107 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They paid up for Zxavian Harris at pick 141 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They paid sticker price for Beau Stephens in the 147th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slid further than he should have, and slot 201 is lovely value for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at Round 6, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board had cheaper options than Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
