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

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Legette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Fair-plus on Jordan Morgan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Robinson in the 47th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Legette reach slot 67 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 68. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 70 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 78th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 100th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 139 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in slot 222 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They did well to land Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
