FutureA
The Commanders found their guy under center in Daniels: A-. 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.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for Gore Jr. left real value on the table behind him. That Pearl pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 5th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in the 36th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at No. 78, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent slot 100 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
They took James Williams at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 139th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Value with a capital V on Tommy Eichenberg in the 158th overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 198 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Taking Julian Pearl in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
