The Commanders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took MJ Sherman at the 235th pick regardless, 121 picks early.

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 Egbuka.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, with Jayden Daniels leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 8
In the 12th pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.13 · Pick 13 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 11
In No. 13 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 12
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Rome Odunze in pick 36, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
A slide stopped in the 37th overall pick, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at pick No. 69 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 25
They barely believed it either: Emeka Egbuka still on the board at slot 71. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 112th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 137
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaheim Bell a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 130
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.13 · Pick 149 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 128
Khyree Jackson in the 149th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · James Williams · S · rank 129
James Williams at slot 151 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 141
Sataoa Laumea in pick 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Jo'Quavious Marks · RB · rank 190
You do not let a running back like Jo'Quavious Marks reach pick No. 225 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 204
The board fumbled Curtis Jacobs all the way to No. 226, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · MJ Sherman · OLB-EDGE · rank 356
MJ Sherman at the 235th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
