Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B- weekend for the Commanders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

Every board in the league had Paul lower, and that gap is the story. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 16, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in slot 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in the 96th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in No. 100, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tip Reiman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 152nd overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
