Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Commanders bet the future on Maye. The board says B+.

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.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Sainristil at that price is a win they earned.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 35th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in slot 36. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy little value on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 67th pick, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in No. 100 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
