Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Rosengarten proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Suamataia. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 40th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They liked Austin Booker enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 67. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick 78 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 152nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 222nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
