FutureB+
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a D for the Commanders. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Commanders shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. The Eichenberg pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and interior defensive lineman.
The cost of the Eichenberg reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They let Brian Thomas Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 36. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They read the board right and Amarius Mims was the payoff at the 40th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson slid further than he should have, and the 47th overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A quiet steal in pick 67: Junior Colson for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 78, where Kiran Amegadjie graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 100th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Tommy Eichenberg in No. 124 leaves tight end and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick131
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 131st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
A slide stopped in pick No. 133, with Spencer Rattler worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac Guerendo at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 152 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 222 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
