"... I acquiesce slightly with your verdict ..."
or if you insist on writing a clumsy, unnecessarily complex sentence, then try
"Okay, I am acquiescing a bit with your verdict ...."

The regular intransitive verb acquiesce or past tense acquiesced mean:
to agree, accept, or give consent by keeping silent or not objecting.
Example: The criminal acquiesced to being deported out of the country.
Jax, your sentence, "Ok I am a bit acquiesce with your verdict, I will keep that in mind."
Therefore, you are not fully consenting but objecting a bit.
The meaning of the adjective acquiescent best expresses your meaning:
" Although I am a bit acquiescent with your verdict; however, I will keep it in mind."
Note: The singular noun antecedent is verdict, which is referred to
with the singular pronoun it (not that.)
Standard English Rule: The pronoun must agree in number (singular or plural)
with its noun antecedent.
