Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The Commanders spent real capital to be 48 picks early on Jowon Briggs, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 4 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 35, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 36th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 40th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
They read the board right and Xavier Worthy was the payoff at slot 66. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in the 78th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A tidy little value on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 152, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in No. 186, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at No. 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
