Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Maye is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: 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.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will answer for taking linebacker early while tight end and interior defensive lineman went begging.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slid further than he should have, and the 36th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 40th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in Round 3, Pick 12, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at pick 100, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at pick No. 102 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick141 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at slot 141 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in the 181st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 223rd pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in pick 233 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
