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

The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Harrell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A premium they did not need to pay, Marshawn Kneeland a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in slot 101. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They jumped the gun on MarShawn Lloyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A tidy bit of business in the 135th overall pick, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in No. 138, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 James Williams
They will replay James Williams at pick No. 154 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They liked Jaylen Harrell enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 22. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Good price on Jordan Magee in the 220th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones is a better player than the 245th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
