Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Commanders answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: B+.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Getting McClellan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Every board in the league had Wallace lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 20th pick they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 40, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A conviction pick on Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in slot 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They read the board right and Calen Bullock was the payoff at pick No. 100. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 112th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 119 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They paid up for Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevin Wallace. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
The board fumbled Jase McClellan all the way to the 222nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Hartman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
