Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Commanders and Pieper: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Kade Pieper slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Wilde proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Zach Charbonnet gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kelley Jones
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
They jumped the gun on Suntarine Perkins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
They went early on Xavier Gilliam in pick 45, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
The board fumbled Kade Pieper all the way to slot 73, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Zereoue Williams at pick No. 129, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore at the 167th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Griffin Wilde
A big swing on Griffin Wilde at No. 188, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
