Washington Commanders

The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: B.

Future B-

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.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The cost of the Puni reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 6
In the 3rd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 36
No edge and no loss on Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 36th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at slot 40, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 68
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
A premium they did not need to pay, Dominick Puni a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
They took Christian Mahogany at par in Round 3, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 3: Khyree Jackson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 153
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in slot 152. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 228
Frank Gore Jr. in No. 222 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
