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-.

Landing Singer that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Liufau pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 2 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 42nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A reach for Marist Liufau in pick 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 100th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 102 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in No. 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Jack Nelson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
Dorian Singer in slot 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
