The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Eichenberg that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In pick No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
A tidy bit of business in the 36th pick, where Amarius Mims graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 40th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 37, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
Value with a capital V on Brenden Rice in No. 108, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
James Williams at pick 129 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 138
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in slot 139, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Beau Brade · S · rank 134
The board fumbled Beau Brade all the way to No. 152, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg in the 167th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 228
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
