Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

Goncalves falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Fisher reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick36 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the 36th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick No. 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 43 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at No. 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker slipping to the 78th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They liked Jarvis Brownlee Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 100. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the 107th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at Round 5, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
The board fumbled Johnny Wilson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 222 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
