Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Echoles: A-.

The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Will Echoles fell into slot 77.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 KJ Bolden
KJ Bolden at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Will Echoles
Steal is underselling it; Will Echoles at No. 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in Round 3, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Jackson at the 142nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
They will replay Earl Little Jr. at pick No. 163 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
Xavier Lucas in slot 170 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Whit Weeks
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 183 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick191 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Braelin Moore for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Earnest Greene III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Earnest Greene III at Round 7, Pick 5. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
