Boards are made to be trusted, and the Commanders shredded theirs for Jawhar Jordan. He came off 77 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
They paid up for Troy Fautanu at slot 34 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in No. 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 66
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ladd McConkey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 131
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in pick 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 123
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 102nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 154
Cole Bishop in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Moose Muhammad III · WR · rank 186
Moose Muhammad III at Round 6, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 300
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jawhar Jordan in pick 223, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
