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.

Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
They paid sticker price for Jayden Daniels in Round 1, Pick 4, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
In the 27th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 35th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in pick No. 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
A tidy bit of business in No. 78, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in pick 100. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 4 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 201
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 195
Trente Jones in No. 222 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
