Draft Grade — Commanders

The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a A to match. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 27th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 28 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 41 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at the 60th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They robbed the room for Devontez Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ray Davis
No drama and no debate, Ray Davis went about where he belonged in pick 102. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141
Rnd5
Matt Goncalves
Taking Matt Goncalves in Round 5, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
They barely believed it either: Dylan Laube still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Michael Barrett in pick 203, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee slid further than he should have, and slot 219 is lovely value for the linebacker. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick223
Rnd7
Christian Jones
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Jones reach the 223rd overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
