Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Commanders let Alexander fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bear Alexander, the No. 67 name on the board, in pick 110.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 9th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Greg Johnson
They barely believed it either: Greg Johnson still on the board at slot 63. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Taking Kade Pieper in Round 3, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Melvin Siani
Melvin Siani at the 95th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Bear Alexander reach pick No. 110 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho slid further than he should have, and No. 148 is lovely value for the linebacker. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
They did well to land Andrew Rappleyea in pick 188, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Collin Dixon
Collin Dixon at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
