Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

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.

Landing Torrence that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A quiet steal in slot 40: Tyler Guyton for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 67 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A wild overpay on Johnny Wilson in the 100th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 139th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in Round 6, Pick 4 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Circle this one: Ro Torrence at the 222nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
