Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 2. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the 40th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A clean, defensible pick in the 78th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cade Stover. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in No. 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in pick No. 140, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Eboigbe in No. 152. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
