Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders bet the future on Daniels. The board says C.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Devonshire value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and interior defensive lineman still on the board.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

If Jayden Daniels and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and the 40th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in No. 67. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at slot 110 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 152nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in the 158th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Schrader at pick 184. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Taking M.J. Devonshire in slot 222 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
