Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Every board in the league had Bethune lower, and that gap is the story. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 2nd overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They paid up for Graham Barton at slot 40 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 67th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They liked Malik Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 102. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 5 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 181 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tatum Bethune this early at No. 223. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
