Washington Commanders

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

Future A

The Commanders spent real capital to be 89 picks early on Bub Means, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tampa.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In the 4th overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 29
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Guyton at pick No. 40. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa at slot 67 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 132
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the 93rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
Theo Johnson at pick No. 100 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 120
They took Tyler Davis at par in the 113th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
Justin Eboigbe at slot 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 174
Braiden McGregor at the 139th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means in pick 156 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 232
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tylan Grable in Round 6, Pick 33, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
They went early on Dominique Hampton in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
The board had cheaper options than Kimani Vidal at pick 243, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
