Future A

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 dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chop Robinson in the 40th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
A tidy little value on Jonathon Brooks in pick 67, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the 100th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 115
Value with a capital V on Tyrice Knight in pick No. 128, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
