Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 18 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 67th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the 74th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in pick No. 97, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick 100 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 4, Pick 2 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jase McClellan at pick 223 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 235th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
