Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tanner McLachlan; the Commanders did not wait, grabbing him 70 spots ahead at the Round 6 slot. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 8 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Tavion Sanders a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 67th pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 101st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in slot 113, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Fair-plus on Will Shipley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Baker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanner McLachlan in the Round 6 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
