Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Parker II pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
A clean, defensible pick in the 35th pick with a little surplus value in Chris Brazzell II. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Good price on Chris Johnson in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A big swing on Brian Parker II at pick No. 71, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson in No. 110 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Malik Benson
No drama and no debate, Malik Benson went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 2. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They took Zxavian Harris at par in the 147th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on VJ Payne. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady in pick 209 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Nice patience on Keyshaun Elliott, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
