Grand theft in No. 73: the Commanders steal Pieper and grade out a B-. The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kade Pieper, the No. 40 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Charlie Becker
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jamari Johnson
They did well to land Jamari Johnson in No. 41, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in Round 3, Pick 9, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
They read the board right and Bear Alexander was the payoff at slot 83. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kingston Lopa
A safety of that caliber at the 111th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127
Rnd4
Zeke Berry
Nothing to complain about; Zeke Berry went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Sammy Omosigho
A quiet steal in the 148th overall pick: Sammy Omosigho for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188
Rnd6
Drew Azzopardi
They will replay Drew Azzopardi at pick No. 188 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Griffin Wilde
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Griffin Wilde. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jayden Bellamy
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Bellamy at No. 230 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
