Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a A- for the Commanders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Wingo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Tyjae Spears gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A clean, defensible pick in No. 36 with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in slot 37, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Adonai Mitchell went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Elliss at the 40th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 100th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 4, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at slot 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in pick No. 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
Derek Wingo in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
