Washington Commanders

The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D.

by Super draft · 2024 NFL Draft · 12 picks · 8 steals · 0 reaches

Future B+

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. The Colson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
Marvin Harrison Jr. at Round 1, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In slot 6 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
Steal is underselling it; Taliese Fuaga at pick 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at pick No. 37. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 36
Ja'Tavion Sanders in No. 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 67th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Kris Jenkins in the 69th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
Taking Michael Hall Jr. in the 100th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Elijah Jones in No. 139, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
The board had Roger Rosengarten higher than pick No. 152, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
Kendall Milton at Round 7, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
