Future B-

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.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the Suamataia reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 3rd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan at the 34th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in Round 2, Pick 4, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
They liked Kingsley Suamataia enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 40. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 73
Xavier Legette in pick 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe in No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in slot 101. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 131
They went early on Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 148
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in No. 138, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 162
Jaheim Bell at pick 152 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 188
No edge and no loss on Hunter Nourzad in Round 6, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 206
Nathaniel Watson in the 211th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
Fair-plus on Michael Barrett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
