Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders found their guy under center in Maye: B+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Worthy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They talked themselves into Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 101st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 4, Pick 3 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They paid a round early for Tyler Davis in slot 105, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than pick 181, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 45 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyrice Knight at pick No. 224 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
