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

Call it larceny. Kade Pieper sat on the board until the 95th overall pick, and the Commanders did not need to be asked twice. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Commanders indulged a want in Perich while a need in tight end, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Charlie Becker
In the 32nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Nothing to complain about; Jadan Baugh went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 David Stone
They robbed the room for David Stone here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
They read the board right and Ashton Hampton was the payoff at pick No. 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at No. 95 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Terry Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Terry Moore in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd4 Koi Perich
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Koi Perich while clear needs at tight end, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at Round 5, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 John Curry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, John Curry at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mason Curtis
A slide stopped in the 225th overall pick, with Mason Curtis worth more than the price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
No drama and no debate, Christian Alliegro went about where he belonged in slot 251. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
