Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: C+.

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.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The Liufau pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Clark to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Braswell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at pick 100 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the 102nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 119th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 135 with a little surplus value in James Williams. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 139 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in the 223rd pick; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
