Washington Commanders

The Commanders answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: F.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Commanders shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. The Eichenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In the 3rd overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.9 · Pick 9 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In pick 9 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
Tyler Guyton at slot 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
Darius Robinson at No. 40 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
Cade Stover in pick No. 68 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in the 78th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 37, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
They reached a country mile for Johnny Wilson at slot 103, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in No. 122, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A tidy little value on Roger Rosengarten in the 139th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 222; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
