Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
Daniels is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 5 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 37th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at slot 40, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in the 67th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cade Stover
No edge and no loss on Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 100 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 5, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They jumped the gun on Xavier Thomas, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
