Future B-

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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
Jayden Daniels in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 28
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at pick No. 35 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 54
A conviction pick on Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 40 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
Junior Colson at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in the 101st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · James Williams · S · rank 135
A big swing on James Williams at pick 103, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
Cam Hart at the 138th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
They paid up for Michael Barrett at pick 181 when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 219
They paid sticker price for Jawhar Jordan in No. 220, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
