Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B weekend for the Commanders.

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.

The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Getting Beebe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels in pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 4 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 40th pick. 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 fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to the 78th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in pick 140 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than the 152nd overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
