Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB+

FutureA+
Daniels is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: A-. The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Kamara has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Newton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 8 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at the 36th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A tidy little value on Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 100th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in slot 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139
Rnd5
Josh Newton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Josh Newton in pick 139, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the 152nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
No drama and no debate, JD Bertrand went about where he belonged in No. 222. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
