Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders let Pieper fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kade Pieper tumbling to the Commanders in pick 89 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The veteran additions, Riley Moss chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 29th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 David Stone
Value with a capital V on David Stone in pick No. 41, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Reed Harris
They did well to land Reed Harris in No. 73, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Taking Kade Pieper in the 89th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in slot 93 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jyaire Hill in Round 4, Pick 9, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
Steal is underselling it; Kingston Lopa at pick 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earnest Greene III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 DJ Vonnahme
Good price on DJ Vonnahme in the 188th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jide Abasiri
They will replay Jide Abasiri at the 213th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Robert Fitzgerald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Robert Fitzgerald at No. 230. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III in Round 7, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
