Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Maye is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. Every board in the league had Spann-Ford lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 40th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They took Kamari Lassiter at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
No edge and no loss on Kiran Amegadjie in No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 139, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
