Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a A weekend for the Commanders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

They banked enough surplus on Melton to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A tidy little value on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in No. 14, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They let Taliese Fuaga come to them and pounced at the 36th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 37th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in slot 100 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 107 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A wild overpay on Cade Stover in pick 114, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
You do not let a wide receiver like Brenden Rice reach pick No. 141 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at the 151st pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
