Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Hunt pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 2 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 40th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 67, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 15. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Andru Phillips at slot 100 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at the 139th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Somehow Jalyx Hunt was still sitting there in No. 152, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
