Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Lopa: A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Commanders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 David Stone
In the 32nd pick they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
They went early on Ryan Coleman-Williams in No. 39, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at pick 64 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at pick No. 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
Steal is underselling it; Kingston Lopa at the 108th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 Eli Finley
They paid sticker price for Eli Finley in slot 146, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kayin Lee
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 171 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Braelin Moore worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
They took Bryce Hawthorne at par in pick 228, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
