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

Somebody in Round 3, Pick 8 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Kade Pieper, the No. 45 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 KJ Bolden
KJ Bolden in the 41st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at pick No. 72 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 109 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144 Rnd5 J'Koby Williams
Good price on J'Koby Williams in the 144th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Quay'sheed Scott
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 196 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Maraad Watson
They let Maraad Watson come to them and pounced at No. 234. A need, and now a little less of one.
