Washington Commanders

Daniels is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Spann-Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In the 5th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
Jordan Morgan at the 36th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 36
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 47
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 51
Mike Sainristil in slot 67 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 70
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 97
Roger Rosengarten at Round 3, Pick 14 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Nothing to complain about; Khyree Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 142
Kitan Oladapo in the 139th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 141
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 152
By-the-book stuff, Mason McCormick at the 152nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 264
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brevyn Spann-Ford well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
