Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders found their guy under center in Daniels: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

Landing Worthy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at No. 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than the 36th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slipping to the 40th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Taking Kamari Lassiter in slot 67 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 DJ James
The board fumbled DJ James all the way to pick 102, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 3. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaheim Bell in pick No. 179. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Somehow Jase McClellan was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
