Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Commanders a B, Echoles and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Echoles, the No. 13 name on the board, stolen at slot 69.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
They took Matayo Uiagalelei at par in slot 5, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Circle this one: Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at the 51st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Will Echoles
They barely believed it either: Will Echoles still on the board at pick No. 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at Round 3, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Nothing to complain about; Jaylen McClain went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Devin McCuin
They paid sticker price for Devin McCuin in the 142nd overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
No drama and no debate, Xavier Lucas went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jayden Virgin-Morgan in No. 183; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jacob Ponton
Fair-plus on Jacob Ponton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mason Curtis
They read the board right and Mason Curtis was the payoff at the 225th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
