Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: A-.

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. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Sainristil steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Williams and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Graham Barton in the 36th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in No. 102, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Fair-plus on Ben Sinnott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They did well to land Javon Baker in slot 181, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jontrey Hunter at the 223rd overall pick is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jeremy James
Jeremy James at pick No. 245 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
