Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Daniels is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Cole left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Schrader pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 34th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 40 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 67th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in No. 101. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A reach for Malik Washington in pick 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Dixon in pick No. 138. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
The board had Cody Schrader higher than Round 6, Pick 6, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Myles Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. A need, and now a little less of one.
