Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders robbed the room for Clark. Final grade: A.

You could see the war room lean forward. De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Zinter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 67th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Braden Fiske
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braden Fiske at No. 101 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran slid further than he should have, and pick No. 102 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Fair-plus on Shemar Turner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 181st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at slot 223 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
