Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Commanders let Pieper fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kade Pieper, the No. 40 name on the board, in pick 83.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 19th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Greg Johnson
They took Greg Johnson at par in slot 41, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 David Stone
David Stone at No. 51 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ryan Wingo
A tidy bit of business in the 73rd overall pick, where Ryan Wingo graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain at Round 4, Pick 9 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zeke Berry
A straight-up fair deal on Zeke Berry at pick No. 121, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague in pick 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Vonnahme
They did well to land DJ Vonnahme in slot 184, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Marshall
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Marshall in the 230th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
