They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Bell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 11 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the 36th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 32, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at the 103rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 105. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Josh Proctor at par in slot 181, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
De'Corian Clark at pick 202 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Sheridan Jones is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dwight McGlothern in the 253rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
