Start where it matters. The Commanders took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.
Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 7 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Terrion Arnold in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Steal is underselling it; Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A tidy bit of business in pick 100, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Value with a capital V on Jalen McMillan in the 102nd overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
The board fumbled Isaiah Adams all the way to No. 141, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 174 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
They robbed the room for Sheridan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
