Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA+
Daniels is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: A-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
The Commanders indulged a want in Smith while a need in wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
Good price on Jayden Daniels in pick 11, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36
Rnd2
Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
They barely believed it either: Terrion Arnold still on the board at slot 40. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 42nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 67th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A clean, defensible pick in pick 130 with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaheim Bell in No. 141. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Value with a capital V on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 181st overall pick, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
They will replay Miyan Williams at pick No. 223 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
