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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The McCaffrey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That is an OT-EDGE worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The Hunt pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end, cornerback and other spots still on the board. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
A straight-up fair deal on Drake Maye at the 7th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 35
Xavier Legette in pick No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 49
They paid up for Jonah Elliss at the 38th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 34
Chop Robinson at slot 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than Round 3, Pick 3, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Jalyx Hunt · S-EDGE · rank 132
Of all the spots to shop, they chose S-EDGE. Jalyx Hunt in pick 101 leaves tight end, cornerback and other spots for later.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 143
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
Tommy Eichenberg slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 177
Fair-plus on Frank Gore Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Julian Pearl · OT-EDGE · rank 191
They robbed the room for Julian Pearl here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
