Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

They will need McLachlan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Bottom line, with Drake Maye leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 9th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 34 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in No. 66. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They jumped the gun on Khyree Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
A reach on Theo Johnson in the 96th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slid further than he should have, and the 100th pick is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in pick 105, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 114 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They paid sticker price for Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 34, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
The board had cheaper options than Trevin Wallace at pick No. 137, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tanner McLachlan
They talked themselves into Tanner McLachlan at the 155th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Eric Watts
A wild overpay on Eric Watts in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at pick No. 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Fair-plus on Tyler Owens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
