Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B-.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 36, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
They did well to land Kamari Lassiter in the 67th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
By-the-book stuff, Jermaine Burton at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
