Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders bet the future on McCarthy. The board says A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 11th pick they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 23 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They liked T.J. Tampa enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 3, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A big swing on Johnny Wilson at pick 100, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 152nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They reached a country mile for Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
