Washington Commanders

The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Blake Watson at the 228th overall pick, a reach of 105 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Sweat pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In No. 7 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
T.J. Tampa at slot 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 29
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to the 46th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 80
A reach for Amarius Mims in the 71st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 72
Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 78 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 111
Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 113
They took Troy Fautanu at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 142
Cedric Gray in pick 144 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 179
A wild overpay on Jaden Hicks in Round 5, Pick 15, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Caden Prieskorn · TE · rank 216
They reached into another round for Caden Prieskorn, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 333
Blake Watson in No. 228 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
