Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Commanders.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Commanders shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Commanders indulged a want in Gray while a need in tight end, running back and other spots stayed open.

They will need King to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That Taylor-Demerson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 11 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 25 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in the 36th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 39th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than Round 2, Pick 30 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Austin Booker
No drama and no debate, Austin Booker went about where he belonged in No. 84. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 99th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with tight end, running back and other spots open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kalen King
A reach on Kalen King in No. 127; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in pick 141, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
