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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The final tally is a middling C+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hit on Caleb Williams and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 36, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adonai Mitchell at the 40th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They paid a round early for Jonah Elliss in No. 78, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in pick 100 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 4, Pick 26 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacob Cowing in the 152nd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Nice patience on Ro Torrence, who had no business lasting to No. 186. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in the 226th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 234 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
