Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a D- for the Commanders.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jared Wiley; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at No. 181.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here.

Getting Still where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 6 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 25th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Devontez Walker
In the 27th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in pick No. 35, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They liked Graham Barton enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid a round early for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 40, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at slot 47 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 67 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A market-rate OLB-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Solomon. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick105 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They talked themselves into Will Shipley at the 105th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 126 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in the 181st pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tarheeb Still
The board fumbled Tarheeb Still all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Fair-plus on Gabe Hall, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
