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

When a board-topper like Calen Bullock slides to the 152nd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Commanders did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jared Verse
They will replay Jared Verse at pick No. 36 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A tidy little value on Kamari Lassiter in slot 67, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Value with a capital V on Jaden Hicks in the 78th pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to the 100th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Circle this one: Gabriel Murphy at pick 139 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Calen Bullock
You do not let a safety like Calen Bullock reach Round 5, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 222 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
