Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D- weekend for the Commanders.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Mason McCormick in the Round 3 slot, a good 69 spots before the room expected him. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tracy Jr..

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 2nd pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt at Round 1, Pick 6 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 27 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 35th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick40 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall is a better player than pick 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
A wild overpay on Mason McCormick in pick No. 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the 99th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A big swing on Johnny Wilson at the 103rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in slot 138, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Taking Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 140 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 3, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at pick 222 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
