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.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 36
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 69th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brenden Rice at the 106th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson slipping to pick No. 139 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.10 · Pick 146 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 146 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 16. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 208
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Harrell in the 181st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 186
By-the-book stuff, Daijun Edwards at No. 182 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 271
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
