Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Reaching for Wiley left real value on the table behind him. However the rest shakes out, James at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 2 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Value with a capital V on Kool-Aid McKinstry in Round 2, Pick 8, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick No. 67, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 DJ James
Taking DJ James in slot 78 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A quiet steal in the 100th pick: Dominick Puni for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at the 152nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
You do not let a linebacker like Curtis Jacobs reach slot 222 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
