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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Cole left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Schrader pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at the 34th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Bralen Trice in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 54
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 40 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the 67th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in No. 101. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
A reach for Malik Washington in pick 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 125
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Dixon in pick No. 138. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 165
The board had Cody Schrader higher than Round 6, Pick 6, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 256
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. A need, and now a little less of one.
