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

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Vidal pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

That Mims pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Daniels. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at slot 40 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A tidy bit of business in the 67th pick, where Jermaine Burton graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 100th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in pick 152, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They talked themselves into Kimani Vidal at pick 222, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
