Future A

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Bell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end it comes back to Jayden Daniels, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In pick 6 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Chop Robinson at pick No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at slot 39 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th overall pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Kalen King · CB · rank 41
They barely believed it either: Kalen King still on the board at No. 70. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
They took Dominick Puni at par in the 100th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaheim Bell well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · James Williams · S · rank 134
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in Round 5, Pick 5. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Grayson Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 168
Grayson Murphy slipping to the 181st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 204
Steal is underselling it; Miyan Williams at slot 223 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
