Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Pieper: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kade Pieper, the No. 47 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
They paid sticker price for Leonard Moore in pick 14, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick26 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
By-the-book stuff, Nick Marsh at Round 2, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Will Echoles
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Will Echoles reach No. 60 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Cole
Steal is underselling it; Chris Cole at the 68th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
The board fumbled Kade Pieper all the way to slot 106, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in pick No. 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ian Moore
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ian Moore. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jayce Brown
Jayce Brown in pick 183 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Jayden Virgin-Morgan at No. 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
