The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Torrence falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
Cade Stover at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
They reached into another round for James Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 108
A slide stopped in the 117th pick, with Will Shipley worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at the 139th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
A quiet steal in pick No. 152: Trevor Keegan for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 180
Nice patience on Ro Torrence, who had no business lasting to No. 197. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
A tidy bit of business in the 222nd overall pick, where Caedan Wallace graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
