Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a A for the Commanders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The McCaffrey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, with Jayden Daniels leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 67th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 72; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 3, Pick 37 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the 119th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Nothing to complain about; Mohamed Kamara went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 179 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick No. 222 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
