Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall
A
ValueB+

FutureA+
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: A. 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 phones were where this weekend was really won. Hopper at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 10th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in No. 36: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Kalen King
They read the board right and Kalen King was the payoff at the 50th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than Round 3, Pick 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
The board had Gabriel Murphy higher than pick No. 100, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
They robbed the room for Roman Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams at the 137th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cam Hart
They did well to land Cam Hart in the 141st pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
They barely believed it either: Ty'Ron Hopper still on the board at Round 6, Pick 6. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick223
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Austin Stogner in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
