BPrather DRAFTING FOR THECommanders

Draft Grade — Commanders

Daniels is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B-. The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at the 36th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 67 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
No drama and no debate, Jermaine Burton went about where he belonged in the 78th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 100; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
