Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ 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. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Every board in the league had Bullock lower, and that gap is the story. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 4 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 27th pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 35th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They took Ja'Tavion Sanders at par in Round 2, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 67 with a little surplus value in Kamari Lassiter. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in pick 100, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 139 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in the 152nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
