Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C+.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Haynes lower, and that gap is the story.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

If Jayden Daniels and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 36th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in No. 40, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A reach for Christian Haynes in pick No. 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at pick 100 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slid further than he should have, and slot 102 is lovely value for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They robbed the room for Roman Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ethan Driskell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in the 223rd overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
