Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Larceny in No. 91 lands the Commanders a B, Pieper and all.

The board owed the Commanders one, and it paid up: Kade Pieper, the No. 40 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 27 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Arik Armstead gives the group a proven body among the projects.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In No. 26 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jadan Baugh at pick No. 41 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deuce Alexander
Deuce Alexander at Round 3, Pick 9 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They robbed the room for Kade Pieper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
The board fumbled Jyaire Hill all the way to the 110th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
Zereoue Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
Taking Earl Little Jr. in pick 148 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
They let Braelin Moore come to them and pounced at the 188th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kam Franklin
Kam Franklin in Round 7, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
