The Commanders found their guy under center in Maye: B.

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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Bertrand makes the weekend a net positive. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the 6th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 32
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 34
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in pick 40, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 40
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
Good price on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 63
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 4 with a little surplus value in Adisa Isaac. It fills a real need, too.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
Roman Wilson at slot 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 123
Isaiah Adams in the 128th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 137
Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 5 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Braelon Allen worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 183
They liked Josh Proctor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 171. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 158
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the 181st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 189
The board fumbled JD Bertrand all the way to pick 223, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
