The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Davis. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 14th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
Dallas Turner slipping to slot 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
Troy Fautanu in No. 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in Round 2, Pick 4, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at the 45th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
You do not let a cornerback like Ennis Rakestraw Jr. reach pick 67 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 102 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
They did well to land Cedric Gray in pick 141, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 160
The board fumbled Cedric Johnson all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 183
Circle this one: Isaiah Davis at No. 223 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
