Daniels is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, Thrash at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Jermaine Johnson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.10 · Pick 10 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In No. 10 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 36 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick 40, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the 72nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
A slide stopped in the 78th pick, with Kiran Amegadjie worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 90
A tidy bit of business in slot 100, where Bucky Irving graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
The board had Cam Hart higher than Round 4, Pick 11, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 131
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sataoa Laumea in slot 139. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 130
The board fumbled Jamari Thrash all the way to the 152nd pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
Nice patience on Jared Wiley, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 2. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
