Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ 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.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. However the rest shakes out, Brade at that price is a win they earned. Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They went early on Kris Jenkins in No. 36, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They paid up for Jaheim Bell at Round 4, Pick 23 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade slid further than he should have, and pick No. 127 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Keith Randolph Jr. at the 141st overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They took Julian Pearl at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Value with a capital V on Jalen Green in No. 223, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
