Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a A to match.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

That Cowing pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

The Commanders paired the rookies with proven help, Ja'Whaun Bentley leading the way.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in slot 37, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 40th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in the 60th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 69 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in No. 139 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 18 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at the 222nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
