FutureA
The Commanders bet the future on Daniels. The board says B. Start where it matters. The Commanders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
Landing Devonshire that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 36th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
A tidy little value on Ladd McConkey in pick No. 40, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They jumped the gun on Khyree Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent No. 100 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick138
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roger Rosengarten in pick 138. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick 179 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 219th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to slot 222, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
