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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Commanders started one anyway for Omar Brown, 63 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 36th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
They took Cade Stover at par in pick No. 67, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in pick 78 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A big swing on Johnny Wilson at slot 100, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
A premium they did not need to pay, Walter Rouse a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.18 · Pick 154 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
They liked Kamal Hadden enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 154. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 165
The board had cheaper options than Nelson Ceaser at the 155th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 235
Michael Barrett at Round 6, Pick 42 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Omar Brown · S · rank 285
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omar Brown. A minor itch, scratched.
