The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at pick 36 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 40 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nice patience on Xavier Worthy, who had no business lasting to No. 67. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Dominick Puni in pick No. 82 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 37 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in Round 4, Pick 32, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They took Brennan Jackson at par in the 152nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Joe Milton III at pick 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
