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.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the 6th pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 34
Troy Fautanu at No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 28
Keon Coleman slipping to pick No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 46
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 77
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in slot 70. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 111
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 100th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 136
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in pick 102, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
