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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

On value alone, Suamataia makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 JC Latham
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 36th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They read the board right and Nate Wiggins was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 8. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in No. 78, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They robbed the room for Kingsley Suamataia here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
