Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders robbed the room for Echoles. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Will Echoles, pick No. 68, roughly 57 picks past where he belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In No. 4 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Coleman-Williams at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Will Echoles
Taking Will Echoles in slot 68 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at Round 3, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Peyton Bowen
They will replay Peyton Bowen at pick No. 106 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
The board had Tony Rojas higher than pick 143, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Elijah Paige
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Paige at the 183rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Jayden Virgin-Morgan at the 213th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tao Johnson
You do not let a safety like Tao Johnson reach Round 7, Pick 4 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
