Washington Commanders

The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B-.

Future B-

The Jawhar Jordan pick is the one that will follow the Commanders into the fall. They took him 77 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 24
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in the 34th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
Troy Fautanu at No. 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 80
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Max Melton · CB · rank 118
A wild overpay on Max Melton in the 100th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 103
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at pick No. 102, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 154
Cole Bishop at No. 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 186
Moose Muhammad III in pick 180 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 300
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 223, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
