Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA
The Commanders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a 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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Cooper makes the weekend a net positive.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 4 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Cooper DeJean worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 67 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Patrick Paul at No. 78. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
They reached into another round for Roger Rosengarten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in Round 5, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They paid a round early for Xavier Thomas in pick 152, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at slot 222. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
