Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Landing Mahogany that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at the 101st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 103 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 DJ James
They paid sticker price for DJ James in pick No. 113, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 5, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Delmar Glaze. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at the 220th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
