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

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Rosengarten left real value on the table behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 7 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 4, with Brian Thomas Jr. worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in pick 78, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in slot 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brenden Rice at the 106th pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in pick No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 152 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills at the 222nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
