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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. Every board in the league had Spann-Ford lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 40th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
They took Kamari Lassiter at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
No edge and no loss on Kiran Amegadjie in No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Austin Booker · DE-EDGE · rank 77
Austin Booker in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at slot 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 139, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick at pick No. 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
