Washington Commanders

The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Suamataia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Tampa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
A wild overpay on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 4, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Cooper Beebe in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 54
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at pick No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
A slide stopped in the 67th pick, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
Cade Stover at slot 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 93
Malik Washington at No. 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray at the 100th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in pick 139. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 164
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 152 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 231
Tylan Grable in slot 222 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
