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. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They are betting Guyton proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick-by-Pick
Fair-plus on Jayden Daniels, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 42 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in No. 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They did well to land Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 37, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
