Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B- for the Commanders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned. They are betting Suamataia proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 2 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A big swing on Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kool-Aid McKinstry at pick 40. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 67 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in the 103rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 138th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
They took Khristian Boyd at par in pick No. 181, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Good price on Josh Proctor in No. 220, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
