Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall

FutureA+
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: A-. The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Paul falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They let Adisa Isaac come to them and pounced at the 65th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They barely believed it either: Patrick Paul still on the board at the 100th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in slot 133, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at No. 139 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 152, where Trevor Keegan graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 166th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
Taking M.J. Devonshire in the 211th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
No drama and no debate, Kimani Vidal went about where he belonged in pick No. 248. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
A premium they did not need to pay, Ethan Driskell a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson in No. 256 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 39, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
