Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B+ for the Commanders.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Phillips pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 10th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in slot 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They read the board right and Adonai Mitchell was the payoff at No. 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 20, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in the 67th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Good price on Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in pick No. 100, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Nice patience on MarShawn Lloyd, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 11. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
The board had DeWayne Carter higher than No. 115, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A conviction pick on Johnny Wilson at pick No. 117 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in the 125th pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
You do not let a cornerback like Andru Phillips reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They liked Myles Cole enough to skip the value, taking him in the 183rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A reach on Trevin Wallace in pick 220; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
