Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Anim Dankwah; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 95 spots ahead at pick 181.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Colson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in the 36th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Junior Colson
You do not let a linebacker like Junior Colson reach the 67th pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus slipping to slot 94 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A reach on Sataoa Laumea in No. 101; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Melton
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 3, with Max Melton worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Erick All
They left a pile of value on the table to take Erick All this early at the 138th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Anim Dankwah
A big swing on Anim Dankwah at the 181st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 220 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
