Washington Commanders

The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: C+.

by MM · 2024 NFL Draft · 14 picks · 1 steals · 6 reaches
Value B-
Need B+
Trades B-
Future D

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Suamataia steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.11 · Pick 11 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 11
In pick No. 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in slot 36. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 37
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 38th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 41
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 70
They read the board right and Kingsley Suamataia was the payoff at the 78th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 113
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 120
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at No. 106 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 121
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 146
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the 139th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 170
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braiden McGregor this early at Round 5, Pick 16. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 185
They liked Gabe Hall enough to skip the value, taking him in the 177th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 259
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
