Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Rice value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the 36th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in the 40th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick No. 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in Round 5, Pick 3 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Trevin Wallace at slot 152 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick 222 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
