M$0 DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureB-
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Reaching for Paul left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 2nd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins is a better player than pick 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A big swing on Patrick Paul at the 40th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Taking Roman Wilson in pick No. 78 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 16. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 222nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
