FutureB-
The Commanders found their guy under center in Daniels: B. 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. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris. Spending an early pick on linebacker with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In slot 6 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrion Arnold in the 36th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 6 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 100th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tommy Eichenberg at linebacker with running back open.
Pick141
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 143 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 182 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Braden Fiske
The board had Braden Fiske higher than Round 6, Pick 12, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 225th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
