Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B+ weekend for the Commanders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That Devonshire pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Derwin James Jr. leading the way.

Reaching for McCarthy left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 11 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 23 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 37th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in No. 44. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 14, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A reach on Javon Solomon in pick 100; the board had better options right there. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 109 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 112th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in pick No. 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick139 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the 148th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
They let Isaiah Adams come to them and pounced at No. 152. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
They will replay M.J. Devonshire at pick 222 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
