Washington Commanders

The Commanders bet the future on Daniels. The board says D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Commanders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Getting Singer where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
R1.14 · Pick 14 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 13
In pick No. 14 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 45
Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 71
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 71st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
Good price on Marist Liufau in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 97
Blake Fisher at No. 107 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 109
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 125. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · James Williams · S · rank 118
Value with a capital V on James Williams in the 126th pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 138
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tahj Brooks in pick No. 144. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 170
A tidy bit of business in No. 185, where Kamal Hadden graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Dorian Singer · WR · rank 207
Dorian Singer at pick 228 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
