The Commanders bet big and early on Jawhar Jordan, 117 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, with Ja'Tavion Sanders leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 27
In slot 14 they get a red-zone target to build around, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 49
They paid a round early for Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 56
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Suamataia. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at the 43rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 109
Tory Horton at Round 4, Pick 1 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 120
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at the 104th pick that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 131
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in the 129th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 144
Payton Wilson at Round 5, Pick 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 299
Jawhar Jordan in pick 182 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 228
Chau Smith-Wade at No. 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
