Future B-

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Burch reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Guyton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In pick 6 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 12
The board fumbled Rome Odunze all the way to No. 36, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
JC Latham at pick No. 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 24
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 6 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
Taking T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 120
They reached into another round for Junior Colson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 64
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Guyton reach the 104th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jordan Burch · DE-EDGE · rank 192
A wild overpay on Jordan Burch in the 141st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 126
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaden Hicks at the 143rd overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 202
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 182 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 204
They robbed the room for Curtis Jacobs here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
