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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent the Round 7 slot on Erick All, a name most had 85 spots down the list. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 2 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and the 34th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd overall pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A big swing on Gabriel Murphy at Round 3, Pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in pick No. 102, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They jumped the gun on Devin Neal, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All in pick 223 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
