Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders let Moore fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malachi Moore, the 130th overall pick, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Gregory proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Emeka Egbuka in slot 40, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at No. 61 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 15, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at the 186th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 207 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at pick No. 250, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
