Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B- weekend for the Commanders.

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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hadden has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 15th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Austin Booker
The board had cheaper options than Austin Booker at No. 67, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 78th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 3 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A premium they did not need to pay, Walter Rouse a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid a round early for Kamal Hadden in pick No. 152, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in slot 222, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
