Draft Grade — Commanders

The Commanders robbed the room for Mack. Final 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. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mack steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If Sharpe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The Alec Pierce deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
In the end it comes back to David Stone, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
David Stone
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 27: David Stone for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jamari Sharpe
They paid up for Jamari Sharpe at the 58th pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jaylen McClain
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen McClain at pick 127 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Evans
Justin Evans at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145
Rnd5
Whit Weeks
A tidy little value on Whit Weeks in slot 145, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170
Rnd5
King Mack
A top-tier safety at a bargain, King Mack in the 170th overall pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223
Rnd7
Boo Carter
Boo Carter at No. 223 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
