FutureA
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B. The Commanders spent real capital to be 89 picks early on Bub Means, and the board is going to hold them to it.
Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tampa.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 4th overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Guyton at pick No. 40. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at slot 67 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the 93rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100
Rnd3
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 100 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in the 113th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 139th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156
Rnd5
Bub Means
Bub Means in pick 156 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tylan Grable
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tylan Grable in Round 6, Pick 33, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
They went early on Dominique Hampton in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
The board had cheaper options than Kimani Vidal at pick 243, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
