Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Commanders found their guy under center in Daniels: B.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Hampton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Irving pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in pick No. 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
The board had cheaper options than Malachi Corley at the 40th overall pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in No. 78 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
The board had Brennan Jackson higher than Round 5, Pick 3, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
A premium they did not need to pay, Tip Reiman a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They will replay Dominique Hampton at the 222nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
