Larceny in slot 145 lands the Commanders a B-, Pieper and all.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kade Pieper fell into the 145th overall pick.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 David Stone
In the 7th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in pick 185 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Khalil Barnes
Khalil Barnes in pick No. 196 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
Fair-plus on Marquis Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
