Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: D.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Commanders would have aced it. Mason McCormick at pick 103 is 56 spots clear of where he belonged.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

Getting Hadden where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Budda Baker leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 4 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 27th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at the 35th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in slot 36, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid a round early for Khyree Jackson in pick 71, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 101 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A real head-scratcher, Mason McCormick in pick No. 103 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at the 137th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 138th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at Round 5, Pick 25. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to the 178th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They reached into another round for Logan Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
