Draft Grade — Commanders

FutureA+
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: C+. The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.
The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Slovis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Hit on Jayden Daniels and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Nice patience on Jordan Morgan, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 3. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at No. 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the 40th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 95. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 98 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
Good price on Bucky Irving in pick 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 105th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
A tidy bit of business in the 122nd overall pick, where Leonard Taylor III graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A conviction pick on Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 159 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in slot 177 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Kedon Slovis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kedon Slovis in No. 223, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
