Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Zinter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Clark falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Good price on Bralen Trice in Round 2, Pick 8, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to the 66th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than slot 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 69 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in No. 94, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in the 101st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at pick 106 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dillon Johnson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in slot 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They paid up for Austin Booker at pick 148 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Nothing to complain about; Roger Rosengarten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at No. 184 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 219th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Erick All. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
