Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a A- to match. 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.
Owens has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 52nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at No. 80, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 98th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in No. 99, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid up for Johnny Wilson at pick No. 114 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at slot 116 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
No edge and no loss on Jalyx Hunt in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick179
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They reached into another round for Myles Cole, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick 195 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
A big swing on Tyler Owens at Round 7, Pick 2, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
