FutureA
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a B weekend for the Commanders. 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. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Torrence falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
James Williams
They reached into another round for James Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117
Rnd4
Will Shipley
A slide stopped in the 117th pick, with Will Shipley worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 139th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
A quiet steal in pick No. 152: Trevor Keegan for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Nice patience on Ro Torrence, who had no business lasting to No. 197. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
A tidy bit of business in the 222nd overall pick, where Caedan Wallace graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
