I am not much for grading drafts because it is all projection. Grade it in three years. Having said that here is Will Brinson of CBS Sports analysis:

Washington Redskins: GM Scot McCloughan makes his hay in the draft and he was churning it out all weekend long. The Redskins stole Josh Doctson in the first round; don't buy into the "they don't need him" stuff, because it's pretty likely they end up cutting Pierre Garcon at this point given his salary cap number. Washington toughened up the defense with the next three picks, grabbing Su'a Cravens (linebacker from Southern Cal), Kendall Fuller (corner from Virginia Tech and a major steal in the third round) and Matt Ioannnidis (Temple defensive tackle in the fifth round).

The Keith Marshall pick, Washington's last selection, is a long shot to pay off but could end up being a home run if he can get some reps on special teams or at running back. He's only behind Matt Jones and Chris Thompson if he can get healthy and make the roster. Washington also stockpiled picks for 2017, a sign that this could continue. There is consistency and smart player acquisition happening with the Washington Redskins, so go ahead and go hide in your nuclear bunker.

I know it's a long shot but here's to hoping that they don't cut Garcon, but somehow, someway, move him in trade that nets something better than the potential comp pick next year.
