Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Commanders bet the future on Maye. The board says B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Legette pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drake Maye. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board had Amarius Mims higher than the 36th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton slid further than he should have, and pick 37 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slipping to No. 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bucky Irving in pick No. 100. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson is a better player than Round 4, Pick 5 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A slide stopped in the 139th overall pick, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Value with a capital V on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 152, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
The board fumbled Curtis Jacobs all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
