Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureA
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: A-. 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. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith-Wade.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Josh Newton
A slide stopped in the 67th overall pick, with Josh Newton worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They jumped the gun on Christian Haynes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in pick 102, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick181
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 181st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jase McClellan in pick No. 223. A need, and now a little less of one.
