Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a A- for the Commanders.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On value alone, Nubin makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A slide stopped in the 36th overall pick, with Brian Thomas Jr. worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach Round 3, Pick 3 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They paid up for Matt Goncalves at slot 100 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They liked Xavier Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 152. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They barely believed it either: Steele Chambers still on the board at the 222nd overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
