Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: 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.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Tracy Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. 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
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
No edge and no loss on Jayden Daniels in No. 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 36th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good price on Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
The board had T.J. Tampa higher than pick No. 67, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 100th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 103rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Taking Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick 152 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
