Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B-.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They paid sticker price for Ladd McConkey in slot 40, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in pick 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick No. 100 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Johnson in No. 102, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 5, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They talked themselves into Jawhar Jordan at the 181st pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
