The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Getting Guerendo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In pick 5 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
Troy Franklin in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter at the 40th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in the 67th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 72
Good price on Xavier Legette in slot 78, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones at No. 100 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 223
No edge and no loss on Trey Knox in Round 7, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
