Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D, for the Commanders.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Commanders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. It is not that Gray is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 4 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 7 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 70th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in the 78th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with running back and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
A clean, defensible pick in the 139th pick with a little surplus value in Mohamed Kamara. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 141st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 146 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A reach on Xavier Thomas in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Williams at pick 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
