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

The war room fell hard for Joshua Cephus, and it showed at No. 220: 53 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while cornerback went begging. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach on Kingsley Suamataia in the 40th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A reach for Roman Wilson in the 67th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick 77 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A tidy bit of business in No. 80, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 103rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in pick 113, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A curious use of the 116th pick. Cornerback needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at pick No. 138, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in Round 6, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Cephus in slot 220, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
