Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B-.

The Jawhar Jordan pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 77 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in the 34th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at No. 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Max Melton
A wild overpay on Max Melton in the 100th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at pick No. 102, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick 180 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 223, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
