Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Dankwah has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Penix Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 8 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at pick No. 36 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. at slot 40 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 14 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Value with a capital V on Blake Corum in the 100th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 139th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at Round 5, Pick 16 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Value said wait; Anim Dankwah in the 222nd pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
