Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
The Commanders won the night they stopped Pieper from sliding. Grade: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kade Pieper had no business being available in the 89th pick, and the Commanders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, with Trey'Dez Green leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In pick No. 25 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 John Henry Daley
By-the-book stuff, John Henry Daley at pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
The board fumbled A'Mauri Washington all the way to the 73rd pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Anthonie Knapp
Anthonie Knapp at slot 110 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at the 148th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 Audavion Collins
Audavion Collins at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Collin Dixon
Collin Dixon in Round 7, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
