Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 89: the Commanders steal Johnson and grade out a B+.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Greg Johnson fell into the 89th pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Chris Jones by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick No. 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh at Round 2, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamari Johnson at No. 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Anthonie Knapp
Anthonie Knapp in the 110th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They robbed the room for Earl Little Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at pick 148 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Sprague
A tidy bit of business in the 188th pick, where Andrew Sprague graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Collin Dixon
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Collin Dixon. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
