Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B-, for the Commanders.

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. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Cole has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 2 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 40th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They barely believed it either: Jordan Morgan still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 67 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They read the board right and Patrick Paul was the payoff at pick No. 78. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in No. 152, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
No edge and no loss on Jordan Magee in the 222nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
