Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a D-, for the Commanders.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. If Spann-Ford pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Coleman.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at slot 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick40 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 40th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky Pearsall in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at No. 67 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 71 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in No. 101. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A straight-up fair deal on Will Shipley at the 103rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A quiet steal in slot 123: Maason Smith for less than the market said. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 137 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 5, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick181 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Somehow Mason McCormick was still sitting there in No. 181, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They reached a country mile for Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 220, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
