Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Grant: A-.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Charles Grant, the No. 89 name on the board, sitting there at Round 4, Pick 26 like a gift left on the doorstep.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Dumas-Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tetairoa McMillan and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They will replay Tetairoa McMillan at the 30th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 29 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick No. 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Fair-plus on Jermari Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A reach on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 245; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
