Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA+
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: A-. 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.
They will need Cohen to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stover. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They read the board right and Amarius Mims was the payoff at No. 36. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 40th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Kingsley Suamataia for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cade Stover
A curious use of the 101st pick. Tight end, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 133 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
A wild overpay on Javion Cohen in slot 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A real head-scratcher, Sione Vaki in pick 142 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick181
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in slot 181, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
