Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B weekend for the Commanders.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They will need Milton III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Fuaga that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 2nd pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in slot 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 3, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in the 100th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 139 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at pick 152. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden slipping to the 222nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
